[求助]老prep61，请NN指教

The more frequently employees take time to exercise during working hours each week, the fewer sick days they take.  Even employees who exercise only once a week during working hours take less sick time than those who do not exercise.  Therefore, if companies started fitness programs, the absentee rate in those companies would decrease significantly.

 

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?

 

(A) Employees who exercise during working hours occasionally fall asleep for short periods of time after they exercise.

(B) Employees who are frequently absent are the least likely to cooperate with or to join a corporate fitness program.

(C) Employees who exercise only once a week in their company's fitness program usually also exercise after work.

(D) Employees who exercise in their company's fitness program use their working time no more productively than those who do not exercise.

(E) Employees who exercise during working hours take slightly longer lunch breaks than employees who do not exercise.

 

答案是B，我选择的是E

我在选择的时候就是B和E两个选项琢磨不定，就是不知道怎么可以把E排除掉呢？它到底犯了什么错误呢？请NN指教！

但是这个题根本没有提到过lunch break，你怎么会在E上犹豫呢？我感觉E几乎是直接排除的啊。

argument是： 若公司启动员工锻炼项目，员工缺勤率将大大下降。

而选项E说的是，做锻炼的员工午休时间会略微延长。

两者毫无联系。你可能考虑午休延长影响到工作时间是把？其实argument讲的是缺勤率，午休长一点没有影响的。

我考虑E的原因是，其实并不是因为不做锻炼而影响的缺勤，而是因为休息的时间更长所以导致的缺勤....

我也觉得你大概是这样想的呵呵。

不过午休时间延长虽然导致工作时间减少，可能影响工作量，但毕竟来了就算出勤，所以不会提高缺勤率。你想太多了哈哈
