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对手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?
结论是涨工资对于wage的impact可以忽略不计,因为工资低于5.5的人的比例很小
A.Most people in Kirlandia who are currently earning the minimum wage havebeen employed at their current jobs for less than a year.
B.错Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably less than KD5.00per hour, in violation of Kirlandic employment regulations. 还是觉得应该选B
C.! Many businesses hire trainees at or near the minimum wage but mustreward trained workers by keeping their paylevels above the pay levelof trainees.
pay levelof trainees= at or near the minimum wage,所以涨工资对于提高worker工资有用,不是negligible
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 higherthan 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. 这和涨不涨工资没有关系,涨了工资也不一定sufficient
答案选C,我觉得选B,题目问的是对wage的impact是不是negligible,所以削弱的时候应该针对wage啊
