Companies O and P each have the same number of employees who work the same number of hours per week. According to records maintained by each company, the employees of Company O had fewer job-related accidents last year than did the employees of Company P. Therefore, employees of Company O are less likely to have job-related accidents than are employees of Company P.
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the conclusion above?
157. Companies O and P each have the same number of employees who work the same number of hours per week. According to records maintained by each company, the employees of Company O had fewer job-related accidents last year than did the employees of Company P. Therefore, employees of Company O are less likely to have job-related accidents than are employees of Company P.

(B) Company P considered more types of accidents to be job-related than did Company O. (C) The employees of Company P were sick more often than were the employees of Company O. (D) Several employees of Company O each had more than one job-related accident. (E) The majority of job-related accidents at Company O involved a single machine.
提干说:前提:O P2个公司 有相同的员工 员工的工作时间也一样 证据: 在去年,O公司的员工比P公司的员工有更少的job-related accidents 结论是:O公司的员工比P公司的员工更不爱有job-related accidents 问哪个能削弱结论? B :Company P considered more types of accidents to be job-related than did Company O. 意思是说 P公司所认为的job-related accidents 包含更多种类的ACCIDENTS  公司可能包含ABCD O公司可能只有A P公司定义的job-related accidents 与O公司定义的不一样 所以结论O公司的员工比P公司的员工更不爱有job-related accidents 被削弱了 因为2种公司的job-related accidents 不一样 不具有可比性
