百思不得其解的一道GWD逻辑 GWD-27-Q9

In order to raise revenue, the federal government planned a taxamnesty program that allows tax delinquents to pay all owed tax without added financial penalty. However, economists projected that the federal government would collect a far lower percentage of total tax owed by delinquents than did state governments implementing similar programs.



Which of the following, if true, would most contribute to an explanation of the economists’ projections?


A.Taxamnesty programs are only successful if they are widely publicized.

B.Most people who honestly pay their state tax are equally honest in paying their federal tax.

C.Although federal tax delinquents usually must pay high financial penalties, the states require far lower financial penalties.

D.The state tax rate varies considerably from state to state, but the federal tax is levied according to laws which apply to citizens of all the states.

E.Unlike most federal tax delinquents, most state tax delinquents fail to pay state tax because of an oversight rather than a decision not to pay.

我选了C，答案E.
其实整道题我都不太理解怎么排除，怎么做？有没有好心的NN简单说下做题思路。。。还有E为什么能支持呢？      多谢各位

难道是题目太简单了，都没人理

In E, those who did not pay federal tax have decided not to pay the tax while those who did not pay state tax have simply forgotten to pay.  Therefore, the former won't pay back the owned tax with or without a tax amnesty while the latter might.

Federal: 不想交的人, with or without the program, they WILL NOT pay tax since they do not intend to pay in the first place.
State: 忘了交的人, they might pay the tax under the new program once they remember to pay.

C是在激化矛盾，federal的罚金高，state的罚金低，那么在取消罚金的时候，应该federal愿意交的人多啊，和结论不符。
这种关于A、B两个事物比较的解释题，答案方向经常是说A和B的某个差异导致一个现象，E很好的解释了差异。
