In general, jobs are harder to get in times of economic recession because many businesses cut back operations.However, any future recessions in Vargonia will probably not reduce the availability of teaching jobs at government-funded schools.This is because Vargonia has just introduced a legal requirement that education in government-funded schools be available, free of charge, to all Vargonian children regardless of the state of the economy, and that current student-teacher ratios not be exceeded.



Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?



A.The current student-teacher ratio at Vargonia’s government-funded schools is higher than it was during the most recent period of economic recession.

B.During recent periods when the Vargonian economy has been strong, almost 25 percent of Vargonian children have attended privately funded schools, many of which charge substantial fees.

C.Nearly 20 percent more teachers are currently employed in Vargonia’s government-funded schools than had been employed in those schools in the period before the last economic recession.

D.Teachers in Vargonia’s government-funded schools are well paid relative to teachers in most privately funded schools in Vargonia, many of which rely heavily on part-time teachers.

E.During the last economic recession in Vargonia, the government permanently closed a number of the schools that it had funded.






Which if the following, if true, most logically completes the argument?



Aroca County‘s public schools are supported primarily by taxes on property.The county plans to eliminate the property tax and support schools with a new three percent sales tax on all retail items sold in the county.Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through property taxes, but implementation of the plan would not necessarily reduce the amount of money going to Aroca County public schools, because ______.


A.many Aroca County residents have already left the county because of its high property taxes
B.a shopping mall likely to draw shoppers from neighboring counties is about to open in Aroca County

C.at least some Aroca County
parents are likely to use the money they will save on property taxes to send their children to private schools not funded by the county
D.a significant proportion of parents of Aroca County
public school students do not own their homes and consequently do not pay property taxes
E.retailers in Aroca County

政府本来对学校补助所纳的财产税，但此增补计划将被代替为得到将提高的3%的零售税，而此零售税比之前的财产税少，尽管如此，学校还是能得到比之前多的补助，因为政府将来收到的零售税会增加，只有B说明了零售收入会增加

d 呢

D与题无关

资助学校的资金主要来源由仅占营业额百分之三的营业税代替了原来的相对高额的财产税。题目却说，学校主要依靠的资金不会减少，那么说明营业税会在现有基础上有所增加。这样才能满足not necessarily reduce the amount of money going to Aroca County public schools。

原因得和营业税有关，无关财产税是否缴纳。

D for the 1st and B for the 2nd.

For the first one, D makes the argument more solid since D ensure the assumption that teachers will choose the schools funded by goverment initiatively.

For the second one, just reasoned as the third floor.
