When people evade income taxes by not declaring taxable income, a vicious
cycle results. Tax evasion forces lawmakers to raise income tax rates, which
causes the tax burden on nonevading taxpayers to become heavier. This, in
turn, encourages even more taxpayers to evade income taxes by hiding taxable
income.
The vicious cycle described above could not result unless which of the
following were true?
(A) An increase in tax rates tends to function as an incentive for taxpayers
to try to increase their pretax incomes.
(B) Some methods for detecting tax evaders, and thus recovering some tax
revenue lost through evasion, bring in more than they cost, but their success
rate varies from year to year.
(C) When lawmakers establish income tax rates in order to generate a certain
level of revenue, they do not allow adequately for revenue that will be lost
through evasion.
(D) No one who routinely hides some taxable income can be induced by a
lowering of tax rates to stop hiding such income unless fines for evaders are
raised at the same time.
(E) Taxpayers do not differ from each other with respect to the rate of
taxation that will cause them to evade taxes.
答案是 (C)
不過我想問題意:
The vicious cycle described above could not result unless which of the
following were true?
請問這樣到底是在問 產生逃稅之惡性循環 的 assumption 還是 conclusion?
The vicious cycle described above could not result
UNLESS which of the following were true
照邏輯翻譯之後, 應該是:
IF The vicious cycle described above "
could" result
THEN which of the following were true
所以是應該找結論嚕???

→ yangJ:unless應該不是then的意思,翻成中文是除非,亦即上句could 08/31 11:00
→ yangJ:result除非以下選項何者為真,所以是問assumption 08/31 11:00
→ Bwk:unless 邏輯用語是then 的意思 且要將if條件句作 negation 08/31 11:34

→ Bwk:所以我覺得這題應該是找結論 但是大家都說是找假設.. @_@ 08/31 11:35
推 nikihan:基於下列哪一項會造成題幹說的結果=>是找assumption 08/31 19:01
