q6 1000 CR

by vivek.kapoor83 » Thu Aug 28, 2008 6:45 am
A law requiring companies to offer employees unpaid time off to care for their children will harm the economic competitiveness of our nation’s businesses. Companies must be free to set their own employment policies without mandated parental-leave regulations.
Which of the following, if true, would most seriously weaken the conclusion of the argument above?
(A) A parental-leave law will serve to strengthen the family as a social institution in this country.
(B) Many businesses in this country already offer employees some form of parental leave.
(C) Some of the countries with the most economically competitive businesses have strong parental-leave regulations.
(D) Only companies with one hundred or more employees would be subject to the proposed parental-leave law.
(E) In most polls, a majority of citizens say they favor passage of a parental-leave law.

I will go with C.
The conclusion of the argument is that the law will harm will harm the economic competitiveness of our nation’s businesses. If we can show that this is not true we weaken the argument.

As C indicates some countries have competitive businesses even with regulations.

What is the OA?
