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special savings accounts in which up to $3,000 a year can be saved with no tax due on the interest unless money is withdrawn before the account holder reaches the age of sixty-five.Millions of dollars have accumulated in the special accounts, so the government’s plan is obviously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 A.A substantial number of Levaskans have withdrawn at least some of the money they had invested in the special accounts. B.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. C.The rate at which interest earned on money deposited in regular savings accounts is taxed depends on the income bracket of the account holder. D.Many Levaskans who already had long-term savings have steadily been transferring those savings into the special accounts. E.Many of the economists who now claim that the government’s plan has been successful criticized it when it was introduced. ANSWER: D 我认为D是有加强argument的作用诶 请各路大侠帮忙解释一下，谢谢咯作者: evelyn205205 时间: 2011-2-6 14:43

题目中说govrn的目的是让大家将更多的钱用来saving，而D选项说本来就存了长期的人慢慢的把钱又都放到special account里面，本末倒置啊，就是说政府达到的是让大家都把钱放到special account但不是多用来saving作者: olin1987 时间: 2011-2-6 19:45
把钱放在special account不也是一种saving吗？作者: emilywpan 时间: 2011-2-6 21:15
目的是要encourage citizens of Levaska to increase the amount of money they put into savings， 结论是the government's plan works，
D.saving搬家，并没有实质的增长，所以并不work
其实其他选项都是无关项 可以排除 记得这道题有N多变体的说~作者: sdcar2010 时间: 2011-2-6 22:11
If you look at the bigger picture of TOTAL saving for the Levaska region, If D is true, part of the money in the special account is TRANSFERRED savings from the old long-term saving.
For the claimed purpose to encourage citizens of Levaska to increase the amount of money they put into savings, D weakens the argument since the NET saving could be zero.作者: evelyn205205 时间: 2011-2-7 11:24
