88. Businesses are suffering because of a lack of money available for development loans. To help businesses, the government plans to modify the income-tax structure in order to induce individual taxpayers to put a larger portion of their incomes into retirement savings accounts, because as more money is deposited in such accounts, more money becomesavailable to borrowers. Which of the following, if true, raises the most serious doubt regarding the effectiveness of the government’s plan to increase the amount of money available for development loans for businesses? (A) When levels of personal retirement savings increase, consumer borrowing always increases correspondingly. (B) The increased tax revenue the government would receive as a result of business expansion would not offset the loss in revenue from personal income taxes during the first year of the plan. (C) Even with tax incentives, some people will choose not to increase their levels of retirement savings. (D) Bankers generally will not continue to lend money to businesses whose prospective earnings are insufficient to meet their loan repayment schedules. (E) The modified tax structure would give all taxpayers, regardless of their incomes, the same tax savings for a given increase in their retirement savings.

(A) When levels of personal retirement savings increase, consumer borrowing always increases correspondingly.==>储蓄是增加了,但是又被consumer借走了,总得来说最后储蓄没有增加,银行没有足够的钱借给business==>这个incentive没有达到效果,weaken了conclusion (B) The increased tax revenue the government would receive as a result of business expansion would not offset the loss in revenue from personal income taxes during the first year of the plan.==> tax incentive只是题干中的一个手段,不是因果关系的因果因素。所以关于tax incentive的都是无关因素 (C) Even with tax incentives, some people will choose not to increase their levels of retirement savings.==>原文的premise是说tax incentive能够帮助savings增加,这个选项反驳这个premise是不可以的。凡是GMAT给出的premise都不能被驳斥,因为是这个argument存在的基础 (D) Bankers generally will not continue to lend money to businesses whose prospective earnings are insufficient to meet their loan repayment schedules.==>同理于C,和argument介绍的信息反了。Premise是默认会借钱的,选项说不借就是驳了premise了。即便是增加new information解释不借款的理由也是没有用的,这不是我们要考虑的东西,故信息无关 (E) The modified tax structure would give all taxpayers, regardless of their incomes, the same tax savings for a given increase in their retirement savings.==>还是主过tax incentive,但是钱到底多了没有呢,没有说清楚,故无关
(C) Even with tax incentives, some people will choose not to increase their levels of retirement savings.==>原文的premise是说tax incentive能够帮助savings增加,这个选项反驳这个premise是不可以的。凡是GMAT给出的premise都不能被驳斥,因为是这个argument存在的基础
