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.

答案给的C，我怎么想都不明白啊。。这和正式工还是trainee有联系嘛？？
求指导！！

题目的逻辑是：因为只有非常少的工人赚的比新的最低工资低，所以提高最低工资到一个新的水平，是不会导致通胀的。
题目要求weaken

C：weaken，虽然工人无所谓，但是trainees的这部分并没有被Opponents考虑到啊。这是一部分赚的可能是在最低工资附近的人，最低工资水平的升高对这部分人是很有影响的。

A无关
B法律无关
D是加强
E也是加强，既然现在的最低工资都已经不足够生活了，提高最低工资更加不会导致通胀了

其实削弱题只要针对的是premise,只要找准premise答案就不难得

出；
这题premisenly a very small proportion of all Kirfandic

workers are currently receiving less than KD5.50 per hour
答案起到削弱这句的作用就行，Ｃ说了trainees这一类人是premise

没有考虑到的，所以削弱了结论
