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 havebeen employed at their current jobs for less than a year.

B.Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably less than KD5.00per hour, in violation of Kirlandic employment regulations.

C.Many businesses hire trainees at or near the minimum wage but mustreward trained workers by keeping their paylevels above the pay levelof 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 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.

答案C怎么理解？

读问题：削弱
原文：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.  前提：只有一小部分的worker现阶段接受少于5.5/hr的工资，结论：不足以影响通货膨胀

A: people in Kirlandia who are currently earning the minimum wage havebeen employed 原文并没有提到这类人，无关，排除

B.in violation of Kirlandic employment regulations.原文并没有说是否violation,对于some具有迷惑性，也只是说明只有一些，并不足以说明seriously.

D.support

E.无关，原文并没有说明support family.

C.many，与原文的only very small相对，具有迷惑性的是这个"BUT"这个but表示并列，并不是转折连词。假使受训的worker是5.00，过了train,工资是5.2的话，那么涨工资这个条款实行的话，原来受训的worker就变为5.50,过了train的工资就变为5.70,大家的整体工资都提高了，那么物价就会上涨了，所以值得作者重新思考上面的推理。

B.Some firms in Kirlandia have paid workers considerably less than KD5.00per hour, in violation of Kirlandic employment regulations.与原文条件矛盾--错误

C.Many businesses hire trainees at or near the minimum wage but mustreward trained workers by keeping their paylevels above the pay levelof trainees. 这题的目的是要否定批驳者的结论；即提升小时工资会带来通胀。批驳者的依据是大部分工人的工资都高于底保水平；但是，如果还有很多trainee，，设想如果该城市的劳工pool，正式职工只占30%，那么这一措施会提升70%人的低保；毫无疑问地会有通胀的风险。

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.无关

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.无关
