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.

這題之前在來欣上課時謝老師說是B
不過我看CD上討論多半prefer C
我也覺得C比較好

因為B感覺很怪 原題目說只有一小部分人是低於KD5.50
但B卻又說有些公司付給員工低於KD5.50
好像直接推翻掉原題目給的premise

總覺得應該像C一樣找其他原因來反駁才是

想跟大家討論看看到底哪個答案比較好?

推 Vinicks:我來說一下喔 我覺得(B)答案那個some就否定了許多可能
→ Vinicks:因為some這個字意思太廣 另外不能保證法律制定下去後
→ Vinicks:這些違反最低薪資的公司會去遵守 (C)的話就是說現在許多
→ Vinicks:公司 要去留住訓練好的員工的話 就要付給比訓練中員工
→ Vinicks:更高的薪水 關鍵來了 這些訓練中員工剛好薪資等於最低薪資
→ Vinicks:因此5.0是最低薪資 而5.5如果現在變最低薪資的話 那表示
→ Vinicks:訓練好的員工 薪資會大於5.5以上
→ Vinicks:因此反駁 但是我覺得 反駁力道不強 但是已經是五個最好的
→ Vinicks:我覺得力道不強是因為 他沒有說員工多寡 只有說很多公司
→ Vinicks:大家一起討論看看唄
→ Vinicks:但也有可能是很多公司就隱含很多員工的意思 那就可以反駁
→ Vinicks:(C)是最好的答案 如果說many company等同於很多員工的話
→ Vinicks:這樣就能反駁那些反對的人說small proportion嚕~~
