What is wrong with this answer?

Both sources differ on whether Singapore should implement the minimum wage or not. Source A states...This means that Singapore should implement the minimum wage. However, Source B states...This means that minimum wage is not good.

• There's no common criteria

• Source A is not explained to the common criteria (should/should not implement). So it does not match with Source B and the common criteria.

• Source B is not explained to the common criteria (should/should not implement). So it does not match with Source A and the common criteria.

Continue the explanation for Source B, such that it will match Source A and the common criteria (points awarded regardless of answer. Assume correct evidence is given)
