The average hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland has long been significantly lower than that in neighboring Borodia.  Since Borodia dropped all tariffs on Vernlandian televisions three years ago, the number of televisions sold annually in Borodia has not changed.  However, recent statistics show a drop in the number of television assemblers in Borodia.  Therefore, updated trade statistics will probably indicate that the number of televisions Borodia imports annually from Vernland has increased.

 

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?

 

A.      The number of television assemblers in Vernland has increased by at least as much as the number of television assemblers in Borodia has decreased.

B.       Televisions assembled in Vernland have features that televisions assembled in Borodia do not have.

C.      The average number of hours it takes a Borodian television assembler to assemble a television has not decreased significantly during the past three years.

D.      The number of televisions assembled annually in Vernland has increased significantly during the past three years.

E.       The difference between the hourly wage of television assemblers in Vernland and the hourly wage of television assemblers in Borodia is likely to decrease in the next few years.

尝试着翻译成了汉语来做，还是不能理解答案为C。

V国有很多有利条件 (工资比B国低, B国降了所有对V国电视机的税, B国电视机销量过去三年恒定) +  最近在B国装配的电视机工人数数量降低

===>B国从V国进口数量增加

这里的隐含条件是其实是因为B国组装的少了, 而要确保总销量不变, 所以更多需要进口

怎样从条件推出B国组装少了呢? 只能是产量减少, 因为题中说了工人数量减少, 所以要确保产量减少, 只能B国工人效率不能大幅度增高
