请教GRE阅读一道逻辑题,怎么也转不过来 在此非常感谢您!
According to ancient records,the first tax that the government of Selea imposed on a basic commodity was a tax of two centima coins on every jar of cooking oil sold in Selea.Tax records show that despite a stable population and strict enforcement of tax laws,revenues from the oil tax declined steeply over the first two years that the tax was in effect.Which of the following,if true,most helps to explain the decline in Selean oil-tax revenues?
选项：
(A) During the decade following the implementation of the tax,the average household income in Selea rose steadily.
(B) Two years after implementing the tax on cooking oil,the Selean government began to implement taxes on numerous other basic commodities.
(C) Jars of cooking oil were traditionally bought as wedding gifts in Selea at the time the tax went into effect,and gifts of cooking oil increased after the implementation of the tax.
(D) After the tax was imposed.,Selean merchants began selling cooking oil in larger jars than before.
(E) Few Selean households began to produce their own cooking oil after the tax was imposed
正确答案是D 为啥呢?
自己搞明白了 是没看清larger jars 把它理解为数量更多了 原来是瓶子变大 数量变少了 ORZ

Answer 1

您选的是什么呢,D应该是正确的没错,题里说尽管税法严格执行,但是税收却下降了,因为税法规定是按销售的罐数收税,所以D里说,商人开始用更大的罐子,这样需求不变的话销售量就会降低,税收就会减少.而其他选项对应的结果不是想法的情况,就是无关的情况.希望对你有帮助,欢迎追问或深度探讨!
