In Kravonia, the average salary for jobs requiring a college degree has always been higher than the average salary for jobs that do not require a degree. Over the last few years, the number of Kravonians enrolled in college has been growing steadily. Therefore, the number of Kravonians entering the job market who have at least the qualification of a college degree will eventually be significantly higher than it has been over the last few years.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

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

D. In recent years, employers have been requiring college degrees for workers in jobs that were previously performed successfully by Kravonians who did not have college degrees.
E. For many years, employers in Kravonia have had difficulty finding enough college graduates to fill the high-paying jobs that were available
不会啊,就是因为有了eventually和over the last few years,题目才对的.
题干中有个假设 N年以后毕业的人数=N年以后进入job market的人数
假设哈佛的课程是1年可以毕业的,入取了 100人,那么一年以后, 就有100个人进入 人才市场, 即100个人/每年,那么连续4年, 总共400个人进入job marker. 但是美国经济衰退,人才市场一下子不需要那么多的人,但是入取了400个人,所以就控制供应量,拉长课程时间,变为4年, 前面3年,人才市场的供应量为0,0,0.到了第四年,400人,但是平均一下, 也是100人/每年,并没有在over the last few years增加人数.
B weakens the conclusion because in theory, that university might be so hard to graduate from, that it takes a hundred years for an average student to graduate . . .
