Beta Corporation claims that it no longer has enough work for the 60 computer data-entry workers that it is laying off.  These workers have heard, however, that the company is buying 100 new computers.  So the workers concluded that the company's real reason for laying them off is to fill their jobs with lower-paid workers.

 

Which of the following, if true, would most undermine the workers' conclusion?

 

(A) Most of the workers being laid off know how to enter data on a number of different computer systems.

(B) Orders for almost all of Beta Corporation products have increased over the past year.

(C) A recent memorandum from the president of Beta Corporation requested that all data generated by the company be stored in computerized form.

(D) Beta Corporation's computer data-entry workers are more experienced and hence more highly paid than people doing comparable work in other companies.

(E) Beta Corporation's new computers will allow its current management and sales staff to perform many of the tasks that the data-entry workers were previously doing.

答案E，这题到底再说啥意思呢，有劳NN翻译一下，多谢多谢

beta公司声称已经有足够的数据录入员于是把多于的60人裁了。被裁的员工听说公司新买了100台电脑，于是推断说公司裁员的真正原因是要雇佣更廉价的劳动力（去操作新买的电脑）。

E选项说管理层和销售人员可以用这些新电脑完成以前要数据录入员做的工作，所以解释了他因，是undermine了workers' conclusion.
