其實這篇不難,算簡單的,不 過我對第7題的答案還是有意見,所以請問高手我的盲點在哪??(我選答案D),正解好像是(A)

Passage 55 (55/63)
(This passage was adapted from an article written in 1992.)
Some observers have attributed the dramatic growth in temporary employment that occurred in the United States during the 1980’s to increased participation in the workforce by certain groups, such as first-time or reentering workers, who supposedly prefer such arrangements. However, statistical analyses reveal that demographic changes in the workforce did not correlate with variations in the total number of temporary workers. Instead, these analyses suggest that factors affecting employers account for the rise in temporary employment. One factor is product demand: temporary employment is favored by employers who are adapting to fluctuating demand for products while at the same time seeking to reduce overall labor costs. Another factor is labor’s reduced bargaining strength, which allows employers more control over the terms of employment. Given the analyses, which reveal that growth in temporary employment now far exceeds the level explainable by recent workforce entry rates of groups said to prefer temporary jobs, firms should be discouraged from creating excessive numbers of temporary positions. Government policymakers should consider mandating benefit coverage for temporary employees, promoting pay equity between temporary and permanent workers, assisting labor unions in organizing temporary workers, and encouraging firms to assign temporary jobs primarily to employees who explicitly indicate that preference.

7. The passage mentions each of the following as an appropriate kind of governmental action EXCEPT
(A) getting firms to offer temporary employment primarily to a certain group of people
(B) encouraging equitable pay for temporary and permanent employees
(C) facilitating the organization of temporary workers by labor unions
(D) establishing guidelines on the proportion of temporary workers that firms should employ
(E) ensuring that temporary workers obtain benefits from their employers

(A) 錯在primarily to a certain group of people 文章中並沒有提到政府希望企業提供temp job給特定的人，所以這個答案不對。

(D)的原文在此 firms should be discouraged from creating excessive numbers of temporary positions

這一題我有點不懂
可以麻煩哪位大大幫我解答一下嗎
文章原句是
" Given the analyses, which reveal that growth in temporary employment now far exceeds the level explainable by recent workforce entry rates of groups said to prefer temporary jobs, firms should be discouraged from creating excessive numbers of temporary positions. "

簡單來說的.... analyses 所說的臨時工的人數已經遠超過可以所能解釋正常現像，臨時工人的偏多的原因不能全部都推因為firms 喜愛用臨時工，而是一般的非臨時工人也就是正職工人也 prefer jump to temporary positions. 也就是為什麼臨時工爆增的原因...

其實這篇文章雖短，可是那個題目有點難做...

以下是OG 的說明，Given ...... 那句是看懂了，可是從Thus, the number of workers......... 到最後，不太了解他在做什麼？

請閱讀好的人來賜教一下吧，感謝在心...

. Given the analyses, which reveal that growth in temporary employment now far exceeds the level explainable by recent workforce entry rates of groups said to prefer temporary jobs,Thus, the number of workers employed on a temporary basis is far greater than the number of workers who actually do prefer temporary employment.

因此,臨時員工的數量是遠遠超過那些喜歡臨時打工的員工
