Two computer companies, Garnet and Renco, each pay Salcor to provide health insurance for their employees. Because early treatment of high cholesterol can prevent strokes that would otherwise occur several years later, Salcor encourages Garnet employees to have their cholesterol levels tested and to obtain early treatment for high cholesterol. Renco employees generally remain with Renco only for a few years, however. Therefore, Salcor lacks any financial incentive to provide similar encouragement to Renco employees.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

Renco employees generally remain with Renco only for a few years, however. Therefore, Salcor lacks any financial incentive to provide similar encouragement to Renco employees. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument? A. Early treatment of high cholesterol does not eliminate the possibility of a stroke later in life. B. People often obtain early treatment for high cholesterol on their own. C. Garnet hires a significant number of former employees of Renco. D. Renco and Garnet have approximately the same number of employees. E. Renco employees are not, on average, significantly younger than Garnet employees. 我的看法:既然weaken the argument, 那么根据line of reasoning: Renco employees generally remain with Renco only for a few years,所以 Salcor lacks any financial incentive to provide similar encouragement to Renco employees. 应该找出其他的理由导致Salcor lacks any financial incentive to provide similar encouragement to Renco employees而不是找削弱financial incentive说明S有financial incentive。这题答案C 蛋似,很不明白,C怎么就能使别的reasons解释S的lack of incentive呢??? 谢谢赐教
Well, because if G hires many R's former employees, then S has to take care of R's former employees eventually. So S has a financial incentive to diagonose future risks in R's employees now before it becomes too late when R's employees jumped to G.
