A shortage of orders for Manto Aircraft’s airliners has led analysts to predict that the manufacturer will have to lay off workers, the new order that consolidated
airlines has just made for 20 of Manto’s model TX jets does not provide a reason for the analysts to revise their predictions, because simultaneously with its new
order, consolidated canceled its existing order for an equal number of manto’s
larger, more expensive model Z jets.

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

A.
Manto relies more heavily on outside subcontractors to provide the labor to manufacture the model Z than it does the model TX

B.
The Manto employees who currently work to manufacture the model Z are not proficient at manufacturing the model TX

C.
Manto includes all required maintenance work for the first five years in the price of each jet it sells

D.
Manto has had to lay off workers several times within the past ten years but has typically rehired many of the workers when it subsequently received new orders

E.
A large number of the airliners in consolidated fleet are at the beginning of their expected service life

答案是A，我选了D。

看过前人的帖子了。知道了A为什么对，但是没想通D为什么错。

请NN指点~~

D好像没啥关系吧

D是无关选项。如果按照楼主的思路，那么D应该是先裁掉，有订单的时候在招回来一些人。因此先裁掉一些人是避免不了的。无法削弱题干。

我咋觉得应该选B啊。。。

A中看不出来这个公司会不会lay off workers啊，第三方劳务公司提供的劳力不代表就更容易被解雇，至少题目没有给出这样的信息。

倒是B，经常做Z模型的工人不能熟练的制造TX模型，至少说明公司为了接这个订单，反而要另外雇佣能做TX模型的工人。

要紧扣原文推理。原文是说 M 公司因为订单少而要裁员，而且新来的20架TX飞机的订单也没用，因为多了这20架TX，却少了20架更贵的Z。
A 说本来这 20 架 Z 就不是 M 公司的员工生产的，所以少了 20 架 Z 不会造成 M 公司的员工没活干。
如果按 B 说的造 Z 的员工不会熟练造 TX，那也可能公司干脆为了 TX 而换一批员工，那还是会裁员的。因此 B 是无关选项，不能影响原推理
