请教一道逻辑题(Prep2-9)

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.

答案给的是E, 但我做的是D. 请高人帮忙解释一下.

我怎么读这个E, 怎么100%认为它跟员工的conclusion毫无关系啊, 更不用说可以去undermine员工的conclusion了.

题目说的是60个要被解雇的数据输入人员认为由于公司又买了新电脑，所以解雇他们的原因不是没有工作让他们做，而是因为想找工资低的Workers。

E选项说新买的电脑可以使得其它人员都能做那60个人能做的工作，也就证明了确实是没有工作让他们做，而不是因为想找工资低的工人。

而D选项，，正因为他们工资高，所以才要辞退，找工资低的，是支持选项而非削弱。

因為電腦可以替代人工的關係→所以不需要再聘故這些人囉
