就醉一生

支持C

C说很多人挣的钱高于KD5.50 per hour是因为有部分是奖金的原因，而他们的工资却都在最低工资的标准。所以增加工资是有积极作用的。削弱结论。

B无法削弱结论,

B只是说了有些公司付给工人的钱远远低于KD5.00 per hour是因为那些公司违背了法规。

即使加了工资这些工人的收入可能仍然不能提高。而且也无法说明加工资对其他的人有利。

1.         GWD-25-Q2
    

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.(weaken对象是这个句子)

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.   工作时间长短与weaken对象无关

B. Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably less than KD5.00

  per hour, in violation of kirlandic employment regulations.   我觉得这个选项出问题的是最后一句话

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.   与原题无关

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. 这个似乎不是weaken，而是支持增加minimum wage ，而问题问的是weaken嘛

我没有对C选项直接说明，因为别人说得很多了，我只想说我的逻辑也很差，但是自从排除法用的较熟练了以后一般题目就没问题了，排除法很有用哦~~~呼呼。反正我也没要求我逻辑全对，那是大牛的任务了

B 不对，没有说SOME到底有多少？也可能就是1个或者2个也可以叫SOME吧，不能凭主观感觉吧~

支持C~

Same opinion

How could we trust that a company who pay for its staff with lower wage than official identification wage and who is violating the regulation to come up to a legal level?

In C which says the traineers whom are widely employed consist of a big part of workers with lower wages.  So the minmal wage increasing will do impact K country quite a lot.

C 说的是当前大部分人在实习期他们的工资几乎和最低标准差不多，但实习期过后，工资就会有大幅度的提高，所以削弱题目。

A. Not related

B. Weaken.表明政策根本没有得到很好的执行。从这个以上，不管政策是支持涨最低工资还是什么别的，都是被weakened。

C. Support. 培训生如果涨了工资，员工的工资也得涨。会放大原文提出的通货膨胀的问题。

D. Not Related。 经济发展的较快的行业里，员工的工资已经远高于基本工资了。涨最低工资对这些行业影响不大，不用考虑。

E. Not related. 与原文的论点无关，如果硬要扯点关系，也是支持涨最低工资的。 

答案B

答案B

我觉得B没有WEAKEN，因为题目说only a very small proportion of all Kirfandic workers are currently receiving less than KD5.50 per hour. B 选项和原文说的是一回事。

除非我们理解some 远大于 only a very small porportion, 要不怎么起到weaken的作用？？

我选得是E。 清哪位xdjm给指教一下

A increase minimum wage plicy will be carried out(from 5 to 5.5),and opponent argue that this will drive inflation rate up.But because a few number of worker receive the wage less than the increased minimum wage(5.5),the inflation rate increase led by minimum wage increase will be neglible.

Question：weaken the conclusion that the inflation rate increase led by minimum wage increase will be neglible

A. Most people in kirlandia who are currently earning the minimum wage have

  been employed at their current jobs for less than a year. “for less than a year.” Is irrelevant

B. “Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably less than KD5.00

  per hour, in violation of kirlandic employment regulations.有些公司付给工人的工资远远少于5.5元，违反了法规。违反法规关乎通货膨胀什么事，看到这个就无关了，再看前面，“远远少于5.5元”文章提到了有一些少于5.5元，这在重复文章的前提。而且即使没有重复，能削弱结论吗，大家是不是这样想：如果这些大大少于5.5元的工人现在的工资变成5.5元，那么工资增加得很厉害了，所以会导致通货膨胀啊。谁保证这些人会给到5.5元呢，他现在还照样会违法啊。而且some的程度，多少是some，太含糊了吧。所以这个答案绝对不是正确答案。

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. 很多的公司现在在最低工资附近雇用trainee，但是他们必须要给trained worker reward使得他们的报酬比这些trainees高。Thingking一下，如果现在工资提高了0.5元，那么这些工人除了给trainee提高工资外，而且还要给trained worker提高部分，因为他们的要比trainee高啊，所以这样的话工资总额增长就很厉害了，所以可能会导致inflation rate up。所以这个肯定weaken the inflation rate increase led by minimum wage increase will be neglible,为正确答案。我确定

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. 无关     

 

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.无关

(B) is right. 

条件1: 说最小工资从5KD每小时涨到5.5KD;
条件2: 有小部分人目前低于5.5KD
结论:      最小工资从5KD (Korean Dolloar?) 每小时涨到5.5KD,会导致通货膨胀
Assemption 1: If all emplyeer follow the law, then 最小工资涨-> 工资涨-->导致通货膨胀;
Assumption 2: Wage up is sufficient for inflation under current circumstance;

(B) said that not all will follow the law. It weaken the assumption 1.
