13, While governor Verdant has been in office, the state’s budget has increased by an average of 6 percent each year. While the previous govermor was in office, the state’s budget increased by an average of 11.5 percent each year. Obviously, the austere budgets during governor Verdant’s term have caused the slowdown in the growth in state spending.

Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion drawn above?

A.     the rate of inflation in the state average 10 percent each year during the previous governor’s term in office and 3 percent each year during V’s term.

The key is A, but can’t get it, can anyone explain a little bit, thanks.

28, Teenagers are often priced out of the labor market by the government-mandated minimun-wage level because employers can not afford to pay that much for extra help. Therefore, if congress institutes a subminimum wages, a new lower legal wage for teenagers, the teenage unemployment rate, which has been rising since 1960, will no longer increase.

Which of the following would most weaken the argument above?

B, since 1960 the teenage unemployment rate has risen even when the minimum wage remain constant.

The key is B,

I think the argument is said, if there were a subminimum wages, the unemployment rate will not increase, but the key only talk about the minimum wage, how to reason this? Thanks.

    第一题：预算大的时候通货膨胀也严重——》实际的消费水平上涨了

    第二题：典型的他因，原文推理：最低工资对于Teenagers的服务来说高了，因此Teenagers找不到工作——》降低Teenagers的工资能使得Teenagers找到工作

    B说最低工资恒定时候，Teenagers失业率增加，暗示还有他因引起Teenagers失业率增加，不光是工资问题
