求助：GWD上一道题……

大家看道题，In two months, the legal minimum wage in the country of Kirlandia will increase  from five Kirlandic dollars(KD5.00) Per hour to KD5.50 per hour. Opponents of  this increase have argued that the resulting rise in wages will drive the inflation rate up. In fact its impact on wages will probably be negligible, since only a  very small proportion of all Kirfandic workers are currently receiving less than  KD5.50 per hour.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

A. Most people in kirlandia who are currently earning the minimum wage have 
    been employed at their current jobs for less than a year.

B. Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably less than KD5.00 per hour, in violation of kirlandic employment regulations.

C. Many businesses hire trainees at or near the minimum wage but must 
    reward trained workers by keeping their paylevels above the pay level of trainees.

D. The greatest growth in Kirlandia's economy in recent years has been in  those sectors where workers earn wages that tend to be much higher than the minimum wage.

E The current minimum wage is insufficient for a worker holding only one job  to earn enough to support a family ,even when working full time at that job.
  

 我觉得答案选B

 我觉得答案选B

我的最后理解是： 建议工资提高-----有人反对-----反对“反对者”     -----问：如何weaken 前面的 “反对“反对者””

我的最后理解是： 建议工资提高-----有人反对-----反对“反对者”     -----问：如何weaken 前面的 “反对“反对者””

开始说要把法定最低工资提高，---------------“建议”
然后反对者说这可能导致通货膨胀（隐含有人要收通货膨胀的影响），方法不可取。--------“反对”
实际上通货膨胀（我理解是）对工资的影响不大，因为很少有工人的工资低于5，50$了（就是说没人会受通货膨胀的影响，），----------辩驳建议是对的。反驳前面的“反对”
但是题目忽略了还有非法的一部分工资是低于5.00的，如果有了通货膨胀，那么这部分接受非法工资的人是要收到影响的  -------weaken上面紧跟着的辩驳，是错的

^{_{大家说说你们的思路，因为当时讨论时有很大的争议，}}
