County’s public schools are supported primarily by taxes on property.The county plans to eliminate the property tax and support schools with a new three percent sales tax on all retail items sold in the county.Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through property taxes, but implementation of the plan would not necessarily reduce the amount of money going to Aroca County public schools, because ______.

E. retailers in Aroca County are not likely to absorb the sales tax by reducing the pretax price of their goods
答案b，这里Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through property taxes是说3%这个比例比从物业税中抽取的比例要小还是说3%的零售税整个比目前的物业税要小？而且我觉得老外的思维真的很奇怪，有时候出来一些跟题目主干无关的就说是错的，但是像这道题跟题目主干无关又是对的，不知道怎么有什么判断规则。作者: starry1008 时间: 2012-1-19 09:21

Just keep your eyes on the words current and would not necessarily reduce, you will find that, even Three percent of current retail sales is less than the amount collected through property taxes, however, if B is a fact, then it is probable that Three percent of the future retail sales will be equal to or even more than the amount collected through property taxes作者: hanshipeng 时间: 2012-1-19 21:35
