GWD31-Q19

19: Sonya: The government of Copeland is raising the cigarette tax. Copeland’s cigarette prices will still be reasonably low, so cigarette consumption will probably not be affected much. Consequently, government revenue from the tax will increase.



Raoul: True, smoking is unlikely to decrease, because Copeland’s cigarette prices will still not be high. They will, however, no longer be the lowest in the region, so we might begin to see substantial illegal sales of smuggled cigarettes in Copeland.



Raoul responds to Sonya’s argument by doing which of the following?


A: Questioning the support for Sonya’s conclusion by distinguishing carefully between No change and no decrease


B: calling Sonya’s conclusion into question by pointing to a possible effect of a certain change.


C: Arguing that Sonya’s conclusion would be better supported if Sonya could cite a precedent for what she predicts will happen.


D: showing that a cause that Sonya claims will be producing a certain effect is not the only cause that could produce that effect


E: pointing out that a certain initiative is not bold enough to have the predicts it will have


我支持A,有人支持B,请大家指点

b  a certain change指税收增高。 a possible effect 指走私的增加 所以最合体

题大概是这个意思:
S说:政府要提高香烟税,C城的香烟价格依然很低,所以对于香烟的消费不会受太大的影响。所以,政府通过香烟税的收入会上升。

R说:确实,抽烟(的数量)并不会减少,因为C城的香烟价格仍然不算高。然而,这个价格就不是本地区最低了,所以我们将会看到大量的非法销售香烟的走私什么的在C城出现

对于B,我觉得a certain change是指加收香烟税; a possible effect就是R说的走私的出现

也就是说如果走私多了,并不一定能得到S的结论(即政府收入增加),因为走私多,税收就少么
