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?
A.The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families. B.Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has. C.People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.
D.The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level. E.People sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work.
为啥选C呢?这题目到底是什么意思~~哪位高人指点下?
By competing with rodents for seeds, black ants help control rodent populations that pose a public health risk.However, a very aggressive species of blank ant, the Loma ant, which has recently invaded a certain region, has a venomous sting that is often fatal to humans.Therefore, the planned introduction into that region of ant flies, which prey on Loma ants, would benefit public health.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?
A.Ant flies do not attack black ants other than Loma ants. B.Loma ants are less effective than many bird species in competing with rodents for seeds.
C.Certain other species of black ants are more effective than Loma ants in competing with rodents for seeds. D.The sting of Loma ants can also be fatal to rodents. E.The use of pesticides to control Loma ants could have harmful effects on the environment. Answer: A 这道题答案是A,但是我认为是B 呀~~我的理解是: 解释:因为要与R争种子,所以黒蚁其实帮助控制了会造成公共健康危机的R的数量。但是,有一种很有攻击性的黑蚂蚁L,最近入侵了某个区域,L有有毒的刺可以让人类致命。因此,计划引进一种ant flies,专吃黑蚂蚁,这样可以有益于公共健康。
However, the supplement will not raise any worker’s income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed.这句话的意思,也就是说政府会给那些工作了的,但是收入还没有不工作领政府补贴的人多的人补贴是吧?~~政府给补贴,本来是想让雇主hire 员工更便宜,这样薪水就平衡了~~但是也最多就达到没工作的人的补助水平了~~于是就不会给不工作的人一个financial incentive~~~(是不?)如果我理解正确的话要谢谢大牛你啊!!如果理解不正确请指正哦~
