Q38:
The total market value of real estate in Altonville has steadily declined over the past four years. This decline has meant that the overall figure on which the city’s property tax is based—the assessed value of that real estate—has also declined. Moreover, the percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city did not change during this period.

The information above most strongly supports which of the following?

A. Money collected from property taxes provided most of Altonville’s revenue during the past four years.
B. The percentage of Altonville’s overall revenue that was collected from property taxes did not change over the past four years.
C. Altonville officials had proposed raising property tax rates during the past four years but never did so because of strong opposition from property owners.
D. The total amount of revenue that Altonville has collected from property taxes has declined over the past four years.
E. During the past four years, Altonville officials also did not increase tax rates on other sources of revenue such as retail sales or business profits.

Answer: D

本題問support,但是我覺得很奇怪.答案都不好.

題目說A地房地產過去四年一直再降,所以可以推得財產稅收也會減少.

但是財產佔稅收比例在這段期間卻沒有改變,問支持?

答案:過去四年的財產稅收總量已經在過去四年減少了!!

真的很無厘頭...是我讀錯了嗎?

本題不是問 support 唷
是問由題目可以推出的資訊
所以只有D是可以推出的

請問一下B選項為什麼不對啊？
當初作的時候把ACE刪掉
可是BD沒有辦法分辨
請教一下B為什麼不行呢？
謝謝

題目的大意是,稅基變小(the assessed value declines),而且稅率不變
稅收=稅基x稅率

所以可以得出d
稅收會下降

至於B
B. The percentage of Altonville’s overall revenue that was collected from property taxes did not change over the past four years.

財產稅是眾多稅收之一,從原文可以推得property tax revenue會減少
但我們完全無法得知property tax revenue會佔所有稅收的比例
因為我們不知道究竟減少了多少,也不知道其他稅收變化的情形
所以無法推得b

請多多指教
