Which if 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 ______.
A.many Aroca County residents have already left the county because of its high property taxes
B.a shopping mall likely to draw shoppers from neighboring counties is about to open in Aroca County
C.at least some Aroca County parents are likely to use the money they will save on property taxes to send their children to private schools not funded by the county
D.a significant proportion of parents of Aroca County public school students do not own their homes and consequently do not pay property taxes
E.retailers in Aroca County are not likely to absorb the sales tax by reducing the pretax price of their goods
ANS:B
這題搜尋後好像沒有討論過
我選到C說
------------------------------------
題意
A縣的公立學校主要受財產稅的支助
現在A縣打算刪除財產稅
以及學校的支助來源改由百分之三的銷售稅來支助
而銷售稅<財產稅
但實施後按理講應該對學校有影響,事實上卻沒有
---------------------------------
我對提意了解不知道有沒偏差很多
B選項說Shopping mall將開在A縣且可能吸引附近城市的消費者前來消費
C說有些家長會將小孩轉到私立學校(所以既使公立學校補助變少,也沒差不是嗎,)
我後來咀嚼還是不知道C和B該怎除該怎留
麻煩前輩指點指點
謝謝
