实在是没有找到这题的讨论链接,才发这个帖子,哪位可以帮忙解释一下这题?74.
Small-business groups are lobbying to defeat proposed federal legislation that would substantially raise the federal minimum wage. This opposition is surprising since the legislation they oppose would, for the first time, exempt all small businesses from paying any minimum wage.

Which of the following, if true, would best explain the opposition of small-business groups to the proposed legislation?

(A) Under the current federal minimum-wage law, most small businesses are required to pay no less than the minimum wage to their employees.

(B) In order to attract workers, small companies must match the wages offered by their larger competitors, and these competitors would not be exempt under the proposed laws.

(C) The exact number of companies that are currently required to pay no less than the minimum wage but that would be exempt under the proposed laws is unknown.

(D) Some states have set their own minimum wages—in some cases, quite a bit above the level of the minimum wage mandated by current federal law—for certain key industries.


(E) Service companies make up the majority of small businesses and they generally employ more employees per dollar of revenues than do retail or manufacturing businesses.

B正确
小公司至少要支付和大公司一样的薪水才能吸引人才。所以大公司支付的越少，小公司需要支付的也就越少。但是B说在新法律提案中大公司并没有被豁免。所以大公司的至少要付出Minimumu薪水，这样以来小公司也要提高自己的薪水才能吸引人才。所以最低薪水提案中给小公司豁免这项规定对小公司反而是个伤害。这就是为什么题目中的小公司会反对这项提案。

badito将错了吧

B和原文多没有提到中大公司有没有被豁免

你是怎么的出来的，这样解释虽然有道理但原文并没有给出，若要按你说的新法律提案中大公司并没有被豁免，原文因改为not exempt all large businesses from paying any minium wage.

exempt all small businesses from paying any minimum wage. 说明小公司是不受这个法律控制的。原先的法律要求比如所所有的公司提供最低工资￥500每月，由于新法的出台，小公司没有了最低工资的限制，但是大公司仍然存有最低工资的要求。新法律要求最低工资要高于500，比如是￥600每月，那相同条件下，由于大公司出的最低工资至少比小公司高，小公司如果想吸引员工的话就至少付出600，才能在最低工资上与大公司相抗衡

那小公司如果自己涨工资不也能和大公司抗衡吗，D选项如果个别州的最低工资标准高于国家的最低标准，那么小公司如果被排除了，则将支付更高的工资，如果这样假设呢？
