OG 127

[小憨子]

127.Small-business groups are lobbying to defeat proposed federal legislation that would substantially raise the federal minimum wage.
This opposition is surprising since the legislation they oppose would, for the first time,exempt all small besinesses from paying any minimum wage.

Which of the following,if true,would best explain the opposition of small-business groups to the proposed legislation?

(B) In order to attract workers,small companies must match the wages offered by their larger competitors,and these competitors would not be exempt under the proposed laws.

不太懂答案B和題目有什麼關聯性...

可以請各位高手 解釋一下題目的原意以及為什麼選答案B嗎?

謝謝

Proposed legislation - Rise the minimum wage but small business are exempt for the first time.
Big business - Will have to follow the law and pay minimum wage to its workers.
Small business- Even though is exempt from the proposed legislation, still have to pay its workers the wage at minimum level in order to compete with the big company, hence for the reason to reject the bill.

127.Small-business groups are lobbying to defeat proposed federal legislation that would substantially raise the federal minimum wage.
This opposition is surprising since the legislation they oppose would, for the first time,exempt all small besinesses from paying any minimum wage.

Which of the following,if true,would best explain the opposition of small-business groups to the proposed legislation?

(A) Under the current federal minimum-wage law,most small businesses
are required to pay no less than the minimum wage to their employees.

(B) In order to attract workers,small companies must match the wages offered by their larger competitors,and these competitors would not be exempt under the proposed laws.

(C) The exact number of companies that are currently required to pay no less than the minimum wage but that would be exempt under the proposed laws is unknown.

(D) Some states have set their own minimum wages-- in some cases,quite a bit above the level of the minimum wage mandated by current federal law--for certain key industries.

(E) Service companies make up the majority of small businesses and they generally employ more employees per dollar of revenues than do retail or manufacturing businesses.

正確答案是(B)

謝謝大家幫忙唷

小公司集體反對聯邦政府制定的最低薪資的規定，令人訝異的是，聯邦政府制定法律時，己經在第一時間排除小公司適用這項規定(暗示不知這些小公司在反對什麼)

選B是說，為了吸引人才，小公司的薪水必須和大公司的標準一致，而這些大公司，卻都在最低薪資的規定要求內(恰當的解釋了為何小公司會不滿這項新規定)

建議樓主可以將你選的錯誤選項標出來，我們更能給你好的解釋
