In many corporations, employees are being replaced by automated equipment in order to save money. However, many workers who lose their jobs to automation will need government assistance to survive, and the same corporations that are laying people off will eventually pay for that assistance through increased taxes and unemployment insurance payments.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the author's argument?
Many workers who have already lost their jobs to automation have been unable to find new jobs.
Many corporations that have failed to automate have seen their profits decline.
Taxes and unemployment insurance are paid also by corporations that are not automating.
Most of the new jobs created by automation pay less than the jobs eliminated by automation did.
The initial investment in machinery for automation is often greater than the short-term savings in labor costs.
因果
政府向企业征更多税、保险→为了省钱辞去职工的企业反而花得很多
加强,即增强因果链条中的一环(CQ1)
A、失业的职工很难找工作,加强
B、很多没有自动化的公司利润下降,无关,甚至削弱
C、没自动化的企业也要付税、保险,削弱
D、自动化产生的新工作工资比被自动化搞掉的那些旧工作低(即便如此,也不代表失业的职工就能拥有这种新工作)无关
E、机器的启动资金比短期聘用职工多,无关,甚至反原文
