Review: Minimum Wage IV
Explanation
This question asks us something we know: the primary
purpose of the passage is to debunk a myth. Only answer choice (E) captures
this basic point. Choices (A), (C) and (D) all describe the author as
advocating a solution, but the other doesn't do that. The author never even comes
out and says, for example, that the minimum wage should be raised. Choice (B)
is less wrong, but still flawed in that it's not the main point of the passage
to describe the impact of a change in rate. Rather, the impact of the change is
described in order to debunk the myth.
The correct answer is (E).
