Easy one, straight B.
Conclusion: if Congress institutes a subminimum wage, a new lower legal wage for teenagers, the teenage unemployment rate, which has been rising since 1960, will no longer increase. ----employer give job on the basis of need of people. this step will may be decrease there bare min rather decrease employment rate. only B is on the lines.

A, D and E were fairly easy eliminations. Between B and C:-
C did not really weaken the argument aka why introducing a new subminimum wage would not work. It presents new info stating that when employers hire extra help - but that may be true since 1960s? So we have no reason to believe that
what argument is saying is incorrect or that the argument is missing out on anything.
B on the other hand gives a counter data that shows even when minimum wage were constant, the teenage unemployment rose or that wages and teenagers may not have had a cause / effect relationship. It might be that there would be some other cause, who knows, but now we have a counterfactual data to question the argument.

Statement E is directly negating something that was said in the passage. Wouldnt that weaken the argument (knowing that not everything that was stated is true)?
Is there a general rule about this for weaken the argument questions? Like if an answer is opposite to something in the passage is it not the answer bc it cant even be true in the first place?
