In order to raise revenue, the federal government planned a tax amnesty program that allows tax delinquents to pay all owed tax without added financial penalty. However, economists projected that the federal government would collect a far lower percentage of total tax owed by delinquents than did state governments implementing similar programs.

Which of the following, if true, would most contribute to an explanation of the economists’ projections?

A.      Tax amnesty programs are only successful if they are widely publicized.

B.      Most people who honestly pay their state tax are equally honest in paying their federal tax.

C.      Although federal tax delinquents usually must pay high financial penalties, the states require far lower financial penalties.

D.      The state tax rate varies considerably from state to state, but the federal tax is levied according to laws which apply to citizens of all the states.

E.       Unlike most federal tax delinquents, most state tax delinquents fail to pay state tax because of an oversight rather than a decision not to pay.

答案是E，觉得前几个根本不着边，但是E我还是没法理解。。。恳请牛牛解释下

E---it says tax delinquents default to pay tax because they are not aware of this obligation, it's not because they deliberately default.

in that case, this new tax program won't change much because people will still oversight and will not pay owed tax.

E的确是正确答案。首先这里讨论的是州税和联邦税，结论是税务大赦实行以后，补交联邦税的会比补交州税的低得多，问解释

E表明联邦税的漏缴多为主管故意，而州税的多为疏忽。所以就算大赦，之前不交联邦税的还是会不交，州税的情况则不同
