Which of the following, if true, is the most logical completion of the argument below?
The tax system of the Republic of Grootland encourages borrowing by granting its taxpayers tax relief for interest paid on loans. The system also discourages saving by taxing any interest earned on savings. Nevertheless, it is clear that Grootland’s tax system does not consistently favor borrowing over saving, for if it did, there would be no______

(A) tax relief in Grootland for those portions of a taxpayer’s income, if any, that are set aside to increase that taxpayer’s total savings
(B) tax relief in Grootland for the processing fees that taxpayers pay to lending institutions when obtaining certain kinds of loans
(C) tax relief in Grootland for interest that taxpayers are charged on the unpaid balance in credit card accounts
(D) taxes due in Grootland on the cash value of gifts received by taxpayers from banks trying to encourage people to open savings accounts
(E) taxes due in Grootland on the amount that a taxpayer has invested in interest-bearing savings accounts

Ans:(A)

請問解這題時是否可以直接刪除(B)~(D)?因為和income似乎沒有關聯
那麼(A)(E)又如何解釋呢?

這題Logic 的確有點"繞"，我試著表達我的想法，如有錯誤，還請指正。

題目: G國稅務系統 1) encourage borrowing by tax relief (有利borrowing借款)
2) discourage saving by tax (不利saving 存款)
然而, 顯然G國稅務系統並不一致有利borrowing勝於saving，因為
如果是的話，那就不會有…._________

因此，答案是找到底有什麼是顯示G政府稅務不一致，即選出有利saving或不利borrowing的選項。

(A)對收入的稅務減免(tax relief)，這個減免金額是會被留下來成為存款的增加(set aside
我翻譯成留下來)
(A)選項有利saving，本選項顯示稅務系統不一致。

(B)借款手續費tax relief。有利borrowing，本選項support稅務系統一致。

(C)信用卡未繳餘額tax relief。有利borrowing，本選項support稅務系統一致。

(D)針對銀行鼓勵開存款戶的贈品課稅。不利saving，本選項support稅務系統一致。

(E)針對投資於綁利息的存款帳戶課稅。不利saving，本選項support稅務系統一致。

很明白的解釋,條條有理...
我當初看到只知道要選答案A,但卻不知該怎麼表達出來才清楚
看到yuying的解釋方法,實在要推一下...佩服啊~~
