Editorial:In Ledland, unemployed adults receive government assistance. To reduce unemployment, the government proposes to supplement the income of those who accept jobs that pay less than government assistance, thus enabling employers to hire workers cheaply. However, the supplement will not raise any worker's income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed. Therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.

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

正确答案: C

题目说政府给补贴,让那些失业的人去找工作,如果工资低于政府对失业人员的补贴的话,差额也由政府补贴。就有反驳说那既然找了工作收入还是不比没失业的多,还不如失业状态等着收补贴,还工作干啥啊。选项C 就削弱这种说法,说那些有工作的人去找新工作会比失业的人去找工作获得更高的工资。言外之意就是,失业的人可以先找一份低收入的工资,然后以有工作的人的身份再继续找工作,那样他们会比仍然失业的人更容易获得高些的工资。也就是说,先找一份低收入的工资,还是有意义的,不是没有financial incentive的
