55. 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.



(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.

BAlthough the money is to be in the form of a refund that could be spent however the family wished, it is the availability of additional money that is the point of the claim..




答案是B，个人觉得是D。 因为结论说，使得低收入家庭可以有更多的钱来支付children care， 但是如果他们不可能拿到这部分钱就达不到program的效果啊？

D has no impact since if a family does not pay tax, why should the government gives EXTRA money to them?

我个人看法：
这不是一道削弱弱题吗，B才可能消弱题干的结论“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”。

而D选项只讲交税，与child care 无关，至少没有削弱结论。

答案是D 吧，你的OG 答案正确吗？

Situation ：To help low-income families pay for child care, a government project would provide these families with tax refunds for each young child. The claim is made that the program will allow all low-income families to obtain more child care.
Reasoning： What point undermines the claim?The claim is that al/low-income families would receive money to buy more care; the money would be in the form of income tax refunds. The program thus assumes that issuing refunds through the income tax system is an effective mechanism for providing funding to all these families. Does the income tax system indeed provide a satisfactory distribution channel? What if some low-income families have such low incomes that they do not pay income taxes? If they don't pay such taxes, then they cannot receive tax refunds, and the planned process for delivering funding will be unsuccessful.

上面是OG的解释

LS is right.

所以答案是选D，不是B对吧？

我觉得是 这个program的目的是让那些家庭 obtain more child care  而不是 more refund  
         D感觉只是解释了那些家庭拿不到refund的原因。。
