Low-income families are often unable to afford as much child care as they need. One government program would award low-income families a refund on the income taxes they pay of as much as $1,000 for each child under age four. This program would make it possible for all low-income families with children under age four to obtain more child care than they otherwise would have been able to afford.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the claim that the program would make it possible for all low-income families to obtain more child care?

(A) The average family with children under age four spends more than $1,000 a year on child care.

(B) Some low-income families in which one of the parents is usually available to care for children under age four may not want to spend their income tax refund on child care.

(C) The reduction in government revenues stemming from the income tax refund will necessitate cuts in other government programs, such as grants for higher education.

(D) Many low-income families with children under age four do not pay any income taxes because their total income is too low to be subject to such taxes.

               (E) Income taxes have increased substantially over the past twenty years, reducing the money that low-income families have available to spend on child care.

答案是D，但B错在哪里呢？请nn帮忙解答一下，谢谢。。。

我觉得这里的b有更多主观上的东西在里面。

如果这种父母真的不想花钱，这种政策本省当然是不会有什么效果的。但是题目中说的是make it possible

也就是说，不管父母是否愿意花钱，政府的政策在客观上让小孩得到更多照顾的可能性已经有了。所以这就不能作为对原文的一个削弱。

而D中很明显的是，如果社会上真是那种情况，这种可能性就会大打折扣。是一个很明显的削弱选项

再快一些就看前面的那两个两词吧

注意原文的提问方式是 most seriously calls into question

那你说哪个会更有说服力

一个是some

一个是many

呵呵，当然是数量多的这个更能说明问题咯
