Q12:

Which of the following most logically completes the
argument?

<>



Yorco and Zortech are two corporations that employ large
numbers of full-time workers who are paid by the hour.  ublicly available records indicate that
Yorco employs roughly the same number of such hourly wage workers as Zortech
does but spends a far higher total sum per year on wages for such workers.  Therefore, hourly wages must be higher, on
average, at Yorco than at Zortech, since _____.

1. Zortech
        spends a higher total sum per year than Yorco does to provide its hourly
        wage workers with benefits other than wages


2. the
        work performed by hourly wage workers at Zortech does not require a
        significantly higher level of skill than the work performed by hourly wage
        workers at Yorco does


3. the
        proportion of all company employees who are hourly wage workers is
        significantly greater at Yorco than it is at Zortech


4. overtime
        work, which is paid at a substantially higher rate than work done during
        the regular work week, is rare at both Yorco and Zortech


5. the
   highest hourly wages paid at Yorco are higher than the highest hourly wages
   paid at Zortech

请问答案是 E 吗?

好象是D吧

hourly wages ＝total sum per year /(number*hours)

而Y公司sum更大、number相等，所以只有hours也一样，才能得到Y公司hours wages更多

我选D  其实题目问的是hourly wages must be higher, on
average, at Yorco than at Zortech支持这个结论的理由

D排除了他因 即Z的加班率如果大于Y 则Y的hourly wages 不一定比较高

E 最高的pay 和 average hourly wages 无关

谢谢两位

我选B。题干已经表明，Y和Z雇的钟点工人数一样，但每年付给这些工人的工资总数要比Z高得多，所以推出每小时的工资是Y高，填空部分要求给出一个解释。显然，B更合理的解释了结论。

D说的是两者的共性，显然不对。E不如B好，最高工资不能说明平均工资。

请高手指教。谢谢！

偶不是高手,但是和ANDREW11共同讨论一下吧.

我先也是选的B,但是后来仔细的看了看D,觉得应该是D.

因为,文中说,两公司的人员数量一样,但是Y公司每年付的总工资数比Z公司多,===>推出Y公司的单位时间工资比Z公司高.这样我们需要两个条件,一是人数一样(文中已经说明),二是工作时间相同,这正是D所说的(D排除了加班时间的可能,这样保证了工作时间的一致).

所以是D.

这题还是想不通为什么答案B也是对的呵，D也有道理。因为题目问平均每小时的工资高是因为-----所以一下子就选B啦。有没有没再说说看为什么不是B吗。

lixunhuan

In B, there is no connection between "higher level of skill" and "higher wages". So B doesn't support anything.

D clearly states a situation that may lead to higher wages.

支持选D

应该是D吧 终于找到这题的讨论稿了
