2. 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 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.

文章的推理是：很少人拿低于5。5块的薪水，所以提升最低工资对薪水影响

不大
B: 否定文章的理由（理由是事实）

C. 有一部分的trainee是拿低薪的，但是他们的薪水， 是worker's
的薪水参考，所以承认了文章的理由：很少人拿少于5.5的薪水。但是却反驳了

文章的论证。

没明白 我也选的B 我觉得如果一些公司如果违法给予他们的员工低于5.00的工资那么不是就削弱了文中反对者所说的只有一小部分人的工资低于5.00
求大侠讲解  一下   还有C选项没明白是怎么削弱的？？
