问题 Federal tax evasion is a serious crime that places an unfair tax burden on those members of society who pay their fair share. To reduce the incidence of tax evasion, the government needs to prosecute a few high-profile individuals whose cases will receive substantial media attention.    The argument above relies on which of the following assumptions?
选项 A、The tax system is so complicated that even people who try to comply with it may inadvertently not pay some of their taxes.
B、The average citizen will be less likely to evade taxes after he or she sees a high-profile individual prosecuted for tax evasion.
C、Tax revenues collected from high-profile tax evaders will help to alleviate the unfair tax burden on honest citizens.
D、Although it is difficult to secure a conviction on a charge of tax evasion, if the government focuses its efforts on a small number of high-profile individuals, the odds of obtaining a conviction will increase.
E、While there is no universal measure for determining whether a taxation system is "fair" or "unfair," the current system was constructed by Congress to represent the societal priorities and values of the American people.
答案 B
解析 Since prosecuting "a few high-profile individuals" can have little direct impact on the overall picture of federal tax collection, the only way in which this plan can meaningfully "reduce the incidence of tax evasion" is if it creates a widespread indirect impact by deterring a large number of citizens from attempting to evade taxes.
