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.(B)

(e)Income taxes have increased substantially over the past 20 years, reducing the money that low-income families have available to spend on child care.


这句话什么意思： 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. 是they pay 修饰 income taxes, of as much as ...指的是income taxes  ???是这样吗？？？还是they pay of as much as ...修饰income taxes,究竟这么样，好纠结。。。。。。。

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.

an income tax refund of as high as $1000

这个题是说：一个政府计划给低收入家庭进行所得税补贴（美国的税法）。 每个4岁一下的孩子最多可以得到1000美元的税收补贴。as much as 1000意思在这里是“最多1000”的意思。

问题问的是为什么这个计划不会有效。因为这个计划针对的低收入人群根本不交税（他们的收入太低了，属于免税阶层）。所以免税补贴计划根本就无从补贴起。 D

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. 句子结构是they pay修饰 the income taxes ，of as much as as ....跟在refund后。
翻译就是：政府的一个项目将会给低收入家庭refund多达1000美元一个四岁以下儿童, 这个refund 是建立在低收入家庭的income taxes上，这样理解是吗？？？
