令人迷惑的選項

The proportion of manufacturing companies in Alameda that use microelectronics in their manufacturing processes from 6 percent in 1979 to 66 percent in 1990. many labor leaders sat that the introduction of microelectronics is the principal cause of the great increase in unemployment during that period in alsmesa In actual fact, however, most of the job losses were due to organizational changes. Moreover, according to new figures released by the labor department, there were many more people employed in Alameda in the manufacturing industry in 1990 than in 1979.

Which of the following, if true, would most strengthen the labor leaders' claim concerning the manufacturing industry in alameda?

(C) the organizational changes that led to job losses in all sectors of the manufacturing industry in alameda were primary the result of the introduction of the manufacturing.

(E) A few jobs in the manufacturing industry in Alameda could have been saved if workers had been willing to become knowledgeable in microelectronics.

我選(c) 答案也是(c) 但是對於(e)答案我也覺得對
畢竟如果workerｓ也懂microelectronics的話．他們有不會失去工作了
所以是microelectronics　讓他們丟了工作
有沒有人可以告訴我為什麼（ｅ）　不對？

八戒

I also chose c , becasue I think that "a few" in E is insufficient.

The labor department asserts that most of the job losses were due to organizational changes.That is to say, the organizational changes should be mainly responsible for unemployment.But we can not rule out alternative explanation that the introduction of microelectronics may partly lead to the unemployment.If so , E just figure it out the fact that the introduction of microelectronics may partly lead to the unemployment,but E is far less than satisfied the strong support."A few" is not equal to "most".Exactly, a few may mean that the introduction of microelectronics is not the main reason of unemployment, but a concerning factor.

Appreciate any comments!

E最多说出不懂微电子是一个原因，而不是题目中要求的根本原因。
