Because migrant workers are typically not hired by any one employer for longer than a single season, migrant workers can legally be paid less than the minimum hourly wage that the government requires employers to pay all their permanent employees. Yet most migrant workers work long hours each day for eleven or twelve months a year and thus are as much full-time workers as are people hired on a year-round basis. Therefore, the law should require that migrant workers be paid the same minimum hourly wage that other full-time workers must be paid.
The pattern of reasoning displayed above most closely parallels that displayed in which one of the following arguments?
(A) Because day-care facilities are now regulated at the local level, the quality of care available to children in two different cities can differ widely. Since such differences in treatment clearly are unfair, day care should be federally rather than locally regulated.
(B) Because many rural areas have few restrictions on development, housing estates in such areas have been built where no adequate supply of safe drinking water could be ensured. Thus, rural areas should adopt building codes more like those large cities have.
(C) Because some countries regulate gun sales more strictly than do other countries, some people can readily purchase a gun, whereas others cannot. Therefore, all countries should cooperate in developing a uniform international policy regarding gun sales.
(D) Because it is a democratic principle that laws should have the consent of those affected by them, liquor laws should be formulated not by politicians but by club and restaurant owners, since such laws directly affect the profitability of their businesses.
(E) Because food additives are not considered drugs, they have not had to meet the safety standards the government applies to drugs. But food additives can be as dangerous as drugs. Therefore, food additives should also be subject to safety regulations as stringent as those covering drugs.

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
(A) No. The point of the passage is that although migrant workers do not meet the exact criteria for being full-time employees they work as much as full-time employees and therefore should receive some of the same benefits. However, nothing in this answer choice indicates that locally regulated day-care facilities are essentially the same as some other type of federally regulated facility.
(B) No. The point of the passage is that although migrant workers do not meet the exact criteria for being full-time employees they work as much as full-time employees and therefore should receive some of the same benefits. However, nothing in this answer choice indicates that the building codes of larger cities are determined by other authorities (e.g., country, state) which also have authority over rural towns.
(C) No. The point of the passage is that although migrant workers do not meet the exact criteria for being full-time employees they work as much as full-time employees and therefore should receive some of the same benefits. However, nothing in this answer choice indicates that the different counties have the same reasons for regulating gun sales.
(D) No. The point of the passage is that although migrant workers do not meet the exact criteria for being full-time employees they work as much as full-time employees and therefore should receive some of the same benefits. This answer-choice does not indicate that club and restaurant owners are treated differently from other parties with whom these owners share some essential characteristic.
(E) Yes. The point of the passage is that although migrant workers do not meet the exact criteria for being full-time employees they work as much as full-time employees and therefore should receive some of the same benefits. Similarly, the point of this answer-choice is that although food additives do not
meet the exact criteria for being drugs they can be as dangerous as drugs and therefore should be regulated in the same way.

Ans: E
Because food additives are not considered drugs, they have not had to meet the safety standards the government applies to drugs. But food additives can be as dangerous as drugs. Therefore, food additives should also be subject to safety regulations as stringent as those covering drugs.
This choice is parallel.
