GWD25-Q2.
In two months, the legal minimum wage in the country of Kirlandia will increase from five Kirlandic dollars(KD5.00) Per hour to KD5.50 per hour. Opponents of this increase have argued that the resulting rise in wages will drive the inflation rate up. In fact its impact on wages will probably be negligible, since only a very small proportion of all Kirfandic workers are currently receiving less than KD5.50 per hour.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A.    Most people in Kirlandia who are currently earning the minimum wage have been employed at their current jobs for less than a year.
B.    Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably less than KD5.00 per hour, in violation of Kirlandic employment regulations.
C.    Many businesses hire trainees at or near the minimum wage but must reward trained workers by keeping their pay levels above the pay level of trainees.
D.    The greatest growth in Kirlandia’s economy in recent years has been in those sectors where workers earn wages that tend to be much higher than the minimum wage.
E.    The current minimum wage is insufficient for a worker holding only one job to earn enough to support a family, even when working full time at that job.

我选C
首先要清楚什么是结论，在这里结论就是涨工资不会导致通货膨胀，依据是仅有一小部分人的收入现在低于5.5，其实说白了就是大部分人收入都高于5.5，所以即使将最低工资提高到5.5，也不会有什么大影响，问你削弱结论，就是大部分人工资低于5.5，所以最低工资提高到5.5有很大影响，通过削弱论据来削弱结论，C选项对应的很好，就是答案！

但是题目说了
since only a very small proportion of all Kirfandic workers are currently receiving less than KD5.50 per hour.
只有很小一部分的人工资小于5.5
不是和C矛盾吗
都已近是事实了 怎么再改条件呀

应该是，最小工资的涨了，比最小工资高的也要随着最小工资上涨，所以大家工资都会涨，所以会有影响。

"应该是，最小工资的涨了，比最小工资高的也要随着最小工资上涨，所以大家工资都会涨，所以会有影响。"此结论是建立在trained worker现有的工资低于KD5.50或trainees和trained workers工资固定挂钩等assumption上，这里的gap很大，不能说工资下限上涨大家工资都会上涨。
个人认为不需要考虑trained workers的工资是否涨，因为原文也说了很少一部分workers的工资在KD5.50以下。其实原文的gap是在于只考虑了worker的工资很少在KD5.50以下而没有算trainees的工资在内。所以C中说很多公司雇trainees，而trainees的工资都在最低工资附近，如果最低工资上调那么这部分trainees的工资必定上调，而这些trainees的工资从KD5.00涨到KD5.50的影响可能是很大的。

这道有点看不懂出题人的意思。首先我们假设trainee和worker是mutually exclusive的不同的人。如果题目只想attack没有考虑trainee五毛钱的上涨，那c只要说很多公司雇了trainee就好，干嘛还要后半句。所以我觉得题目的意思是说，尽管没多少worker现在拿着低于5.5的工资，但由于worker的工资somehow跟trainee挂钩（水涨船高，可能是高于某个固定的百分比），当trainee上调到5.5后，worker也要上调，这个上调可能是从5.6调到5.8。
