Editorial: In Ledland, unemployed adults receive government assistance. To reduce unemployment, the government proposes to supplement the income of those who accept jobs that pay less than government assistance, thus enabling employers to hire workers cheaply. However, the supplement will not raise any worker's income above what government assistance would provide if he or she were not gainfully employed. Therefore, unemployed people will have no financial incentive to accept jobs that would entitle them to the supplement.
Which of the following, if true about Ledland, most seriously weakens the argument of the editorial?
The government collects no taxes on assistance it provides to unemployed individuals and their families.
Neighboring countries with laws that mandate the minimum wage an employer must pay an employee have higher unemployment rates than Ledland currently has.
People who are employed and look for a new job tend to get higher-paying jobs than job seekers who are unemployed.
The yearly amount unemployed people receive from government assistance is less than the yearly income that the government defines as the poverty level.
People sometimes accept jobs that pay relatively little simply because they enjoy the work.
前提：然而，补助不会增加超过在没有被雇佣所得到的政府救济，换句人话就是补助不会多于政府救济。
结论：失业的人没有财务刺激来去申请补助。
(题干里面提到了3种钱：assistance，income，supplement
失业人员：每月有政府的补助X。
失业人员如果接受一个比X还少工资的工作：政府会补差价，补到这些人也拿到X。政府的目的在于鼓励公司用便宜的价格雇佣他们，减少失业率。
但是失业人员会这样想，不工作得到的也是X，工作得到的也是X，还不如不接受这种工作的好。)
预判： 1. 补助不会超过救济，会不会工作后工资会逐步增加，这样一来，工资加补助就会更多，从而更多人去申请补助。
2. 是不是财务刺激只是 补助这部分，如果财务刺激的来源还有找到工作后的收入。
3. 是不是还有找到工作后免税的财务刺激等。
看选项：
C.找到工作的人比失业的人收入更多，符合预判内容，保留（这里“tend to”表示一种客观现象而不仅仅是主观倾向！）
意思说，找到一份shitty job以后再换工作就会收入高，有long term financial incentive
D. 失业的人得到的政府救济要比政府定义的贫困水平要的收入要少，这里提出了【新的信息】贫困水平的收入，救济的多少和政府补助没有关系。排出
