In order to improve the long-term savings rate of its citizens, Levaska’s government has decided to introduce special savings accounts.  Citizens can save up to $3,000 a year in special accounts without having to pay tax on the interest, unless they withdraw money from the account before they reach the age of sixty-five.  If they do withdraw any money before that age, they have to pay tax on the accumulated interest and a penalty.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously threatens the success of the government’s plan?

A. The banks and financial institutions where the special accounts will be held lobbied hard for their introduction.

B. Nearly all workers in Levaska can already save money in tax-free accounts through their workplace.

C. For the past ten years, Levaskans have been depositing an ever smaller percentage of their income in long-term savings.

D. Many Levaskans continue to work beyond the age of sixty-five.

E. In certain circumstances, such as a serious illness, the government plans to waive the penalty on early withdrawals from the special accounts.

 

正确的答案是选B,实在没明白B是怎么削弱的啊？我选择的是A…..请NN帮忙解释下，BOW

 

Ailsa灵幽幽

A 无关，且有点加强，因为会游说大家进这个特殊帐户

B 正确，他因（我不敢肯定），说已经参加类似帐户了，所以这个帐户不一定会成功，这个选项是唯一有点削弱的

C 无关，说得是往年存长期的情况

D 无关，说过了65还工作

E 说政府在什么情况下赦免提前取出的处罚，无关

非ＮＮ，个人理解～　呵呵　希望有点帮助

奥，再仔细把选项B读了一遍，关键在这句话： already save money in tax-free accounts
        

其实我之前以为这个tax-free account 就是政府提出的那个account,想破脑袋都觉得是加强，呵呵，谢谢楼上的MM的提醒！

我也感觉自己特别蠢每次都理解不了题干的意思

这个选项的潜台词就是在这个办法出来之前，人们已经通过其他的办法存到免税账户里了，再有这个政策我也没钱存了，所以不会改变人民的存款数量
