OG12-116求助

116. Firms adopting “profit-related-pay” (PRP) contracts pay wages at levels that vary with the firm’s profits. In the
metalworking industry last year, firms with PRP contracts in place showed productivity per worker on average
13 percent higher than that of their competitors who used more traditional contracts.
If, on the basis of the evidence above, it is argued that PRP contracts increase worker productivity, which of the
following, if true, would most seriously weaken that argument?
(A) Results similar to those cited for the metalworking industry have been found in other industries where PRP contracts are used.
(B) Under PRP contracts costs other than labor costs, such as plant, machinery, and energy, make up an increased proportion of the total cost of each unit of output.
(C) Because introducing PRP contracts greatly changes individual workers’ relationships to the firm,negotiating the introduction of PRP contracts is complex and time-consuming.
(D) Many firms in the metalworking industry have modernized production equipment in the last five years, and most of these introduced PRP contracts at the same time.
(E) In firms in the metalworking industry where PRP contracts are in place, the average take-home pay is 15 percent higher than it is in those firms where workers have more traditional contracts.

这题我选对了，但是在E上面不是很能理解清楚，总感觉E又像无关选项，又像削弱原文（因为可以理解为因为工资高所以才产出多，但又感觉这推翻题目最开始的条件，即工资是随产出而定的）


请NN帮我分析分析E到底是怎么一回事，谢谢。。此题答案为D

(E) In firms in the metalworking industry where PRP contracts are in place, the average take-home pay is 15 percent higher than it is in those firms where workers have more traditional contracts.

E的意思的说，采用PRP的company里的工人所拿的工资比采用传统方式的company里的工人所拿得多，工资多了就有动力提高productivity了，是加强原文的选项。。

可我总觉得，这个更像是因为工资高了才增强了员工的生产力，而且题目也没有说那些采取了新合同的工人才工资高呀，总觉得这之中有个逻辑链我没有抓住？请NN赐教

题目中说了呀“In firms in the metalworking industry where PRP contracts are in place, the average take-home pay is 15 percent higher than it is in those firms where workers have more traditional contracts.”


工资为什么会高呢，谁的工资高呢？就是那些采用PRP contract的工资才高啊，E选项说的就是这个意思，楼主再品一品

E的问题是这种类型的错，如下例：
电影《色戒》取得了很高的票房，是由于汤唯的出色演技。找weaken
d 说还是因为张爱玲写的好，在电影拍之前就一堆粉丝了等着看了。
e 说虽然演技不错，但汤唯的暴露演出使得《色戒》被广电总剧禁了。

d是找出了他因来weaken. e 说的不是weaken这种因果关系，而是攻击了原因。
