标题: OG-104
104. Spending on research and development by United States businesses for 1984 showed an increase of about 8 percent over the 1983 level. This increase actually continued a downward trend evident since 1981 – when outlays for research and development increased 16.4 percent over 1980 spending. Clearly, the 25 percent tax
credit enacted by Congress in 1981, which was intended to promote spending on research and development, did little or nothing to stimulate such spending.
The conclusion of the argument above cannot be true unless which of the following is true?
(A) Business spending on research and development is usually directly proportional to business profits.
(B) Business spending for research and development in 1985 could not increase by more than 8.3%.
(C) Had the 1981 tax credit been set higher than 25%, business spending for research and development after
1981 would have increased more than it did.
(D) In the absence of the 25% tax credit, business spending for research and development after 1981 would not
have been substantially lower than it was.
(E) Tax credits market for specific investments are rarely effective in inducing businesses to make those investments.
这道题是问assumption，E中specific investments我是认为包含有spending on research and development，所以选了它，为什么不对呢？

The conclusion is 25 percent tax credit *** did little or nothing to stimulate the R&D spending by US business. E中是说tax credit 对business很少有效，等于没说。这里问的是一个specific case, 它回答一个broad possibility.

我想知道promote和stimulate的区别
作者: huashengke 时间: 2006-12-25 11:00
promote和stimulate没有什么区别，答案选d，e太泛泛了，也很绝对。
