16. Which of the following, if true, is the most logical completion of the argument below?

The tax system of the Republic of Grootland encourages borrowing by granting its taxpayers

tax relief for interest paid on loans. The system also discourages saving by taxing any interest

earned on savings. Nevertheless, it is clear that Grootland’s tax system does not consistently favor

borrowing over saving, for if it did, there would be no ——. A

(A) tax relief in Grootland for those portions of a taxpayer’s income, if any, that are set aside

to increase that taxpayer’s total savings

(B) tax relief in Grootland for the processing fees that taxpayers pay to lending institutions

when obtaining certain kinds of loans

(C) tax relief in Grootland for interest that taxpayers are charged on the unpaid balance in

credit card accounts

(D) taxes due in Grootland on the cash value of gifts received by taxpayers from banks trying

to encourage people to open savings accounts

(E) taxes due in Grootland on the amount that a taxpayer has invested in interest-bearing

savings accounts

题目最后一句话看不懂哦，是什么意思呢？为什么会选a呢？

最后一句，税收系统不总是鼓励借钱，不鼓励存钱。

ABC是减税，DE是交税。A是对要存钱的收入减税，鼓励存钱。
