Five years ago, as part of a plan to encourage citizens of Levaska to increase the amount of money they put into savings, Levaska's government introduced special savings accounts in which up to $3,000 a year can be saved with no tax due on the interest unless money is withdrawn before the account holder reaches the age of sixty-five. Millions of dollars have accumulated in the special accounts, so the government's plan is obviously working.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A substantial number of Levaskans have withdrawn at least some of the money they had invested in the special accounts.
Workers in Levaska who already save money in long-term tax-free accounts that are offered through their workplace cannot take advantage of the special savings accounts introduced by the government.
The rate at which interest earned on money deposited in regular savings accounts is taxed depends on the income bracket of the account holder.
Many Levaskans who already had long-term savings have steadily been transferring those savings into the special accounts.
Many of the economists who now claim that the government's plan has been successful criticized it when it was introduced.
思路:目的:提高L市的savings----提出special account方案----special accounts上累积了很多钱----说明政府这个方案是成功的-----削弱:如果很多人只是把钱从一个savings转到special savings的话,那对于增加savings总量没有帮助 另外A很迷惑人,按照正常储蓄账户你但凡动了点钱interest就没了。。。不过这个作为反驳原文不太成立,感觉跟原文最后说累积了很多钱在special account上矛盾,与原文矛盾
