Which of the following, if true, most logically completes the argument?
Aroca County's public schools are supported primarily by taxes on property. The county plans to eliminate the property tax and support schools with a new three percent sales tax on all retail items sold in the county. Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through property taxes, but implementation of the plan would not necessarily reduce the amount of money going to Aroca County public schools, because ______.
many Aroca County residents have already left the county because of its high property taxes
a shopping mall likely to draw shoppers from neighboring counties is about to open in Aroca County
at least some Aroca County parents are to use the money they will save on property taxes to send their children to private schools not funded by the county
a significant proportion of parents of Aroca County public school students do not own their homes and consequently do not pay property taxes
retailers in Aroca County are not to absorb the sales tax by reducing the pretax price of their goods
原文Three percent of current retail sales,重点是current,B就解决了这个问题因为未来的retail sales会因为一个mall的开张而增大很多
[方案题!!!!]
原文的结论是:取消财产税,征收零售税(税率相对低一点),但是收到的钱却不会减少。 问原因????
方案是:征收零售税
错选了D选项 我当时觉得很多人没有房子所以不承担财产税,所以财产税会收的比较少。但实际上这个选项和方案无关,不知道采取方案之后是个什么后果
正确答案B选项:新的商场吸引更多的消费者,所以收到的零售税会多啊!!!!!✅和方案有关!!!
计划取消财产税,使用零售税用于资助公立学校。目前零售税低于财产税,但是预测最终流向公立学校的经费并不会减少。explain
choice b, 很快就会开张一个新的购物中心,会吸引隔壁counties的人来购物。correct
没注意到题中的three percent sales tax 和Three percent of current retail sales区别。
B选项销量会增加,税就会增加
C错在表明钱够用,而原文的要求是钱不会减少
B key word: is about to open
A 我的推理过程:因为房产税高--所以人们走--如果房产税低 人们会回来 人多了买的东西就多 ---最后一个逻辑链不一定成立,万一购置税多了 人们买的东西就少了呢?
而B 是最直接地回答了 人们买的东西一定会多的问题 draw shoppers from neighboring counties i
错选A -无关选项,因为不管A县的人搬不搬走,房子是不会跟着走的,property taxes一定是要交的。
误以为人搬走了property taxes本来就没什么人交,自己发散出property taxes本来也收不上来多少,但是最终要回答的问题是说retail tax足够多
retail sales 会升高,tax收入也就多
