GWD6-Q20 求助

GWD6-Q20:
Five years ago, as part of a plan to encourage citizens of Levaska to increase the amount of money they put into savings, Levaska’s government introduced special savings accounts in which up to $3,000 a year can be saved with no tax due on the interest unless money is withdrawn before the account holder reaches the age of sixty-five.  Millions of dollars have accumulated in the special accounts, so the government’s plan is obviously working.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
A.    A substantial number of Levaskans have withdrawn at least some of the money they had invested in the special accounts.
B.    Workers in Levaska who already save money in long-term tax-free accounts that are offered through their workplace cannot take advantage of the special savings accounts introduced by the government.
C.    The rate at which interest earned on money deposited in regular savings accounts is taxed depends on the income bracket of the account holder.
D.    Many Levaskans who already had long-term savings have steadily been transferring those savings into the special accounts.
E.    Many of the economists who now claim that the government’s plan has been successful criticized it when it was introduced.

为什么D选项是削弱？

In order to weaken the argument, we have to eliminate the causal between accumination in the special accounts and success of government's plan.That is: it is not savings'soar but another reason leads to the accumination in the special accounts.D is a good reason.

我是这样理解的不知道对不对~~
题目说政府要出台一项鼓励政策增加银行存款金额
D说一些人把已经存在银行里的钱转到那个特别账户
这样的话总的银行金额就没有变，只是从一个账户到另一个账户，所以起不到增加存款的作用。。

嗯嗯  接楼上  我也是差不多那样理解的  还有补充一点 人们从一个银行账户转到现在不交税的银行账户上，不仅没有增加银行存款，还减少了税收。

这题很缺德，搞了个special account，又搞了个longterm savings。。。
意思是政府希望推行special account的办法来吸引depositors以提高存款水平。所谓special就是免税。

D的意思是说人们把自己normal account里的deposit转到这special account里面。这样一来，special account总量就必然增加了，但是别的地方的钱少了，同时还没用税可以收了，属于拆东墙补西墙。
