13. Canadians now increasingly engage in “out-shopping,” which is shopping across the national border, where prices are lower. Prices are lower outside of Canada in large part because the goods-and-services tax that pays for Canadian social services is not applied.

Which one of the following is best supported on the basis of the information above?

(A) If the upward trend in out-shopping continues at a significant level and the amounts paid by the government for Canadian social services are maintained, the Canadian goods-and-services tax will be assessed at a higher rate.

(B) If Canada imposes a substantial tariff on the goods bought across the border, a reciprocal tariff on cross-border shopping in the other direction will be imposed, thereby harming Canadian businesses.

(C) The amounts the Canadian government pays out to those who provide social services to Canadians are increasing.

(D) The same brands of goods are available to Canadian shoppers across the border as are available in Canada.（A）

(E) Out-shopping purchases are subject to Canadian taxes when the purchaser crosses the border to bring them into Canada.

答案据说是A，但是A显然不太说得过去。给social service的钱为什么要从goods-and-service税来？完全可以从别的地方来啊！两者可以互相根本不影响。

E为什么不对？Out-shopping 受跨境购买税的影响。如果这个跨境购买税很高，大于了加拿大境内的goods-and-serveices税，那么不就没有人再出国买了么？

I think MM confuse "supported" and "support".

The question is a type of conclusion instead of support.

For conclusion question, the answer should not include any information that is not mentioned in the passage.

For E,跨境购买税 have never mentioned ,so it can't be right.

For A, "the goods-and-services tax that pays for Canadian social services "indicate that the goods-and-services tax pay for social service .

There is no other way mentioned to pay for social service, so we have to assume this goods-and-services is the only way .

Any way , I think the passage should indicate clearly that goods-and-services is the only way to pay for social serice.
