PrepTest 158 - Section 4 - Question 1

Show summary

The government's tax collection agency has not followed through on its plan, announced a year ago, to crack down on violations of corporate income tax law. ██████ ███ ███ ███████ ████ ███ █████████ ████ ███████████ ███ ████ ███ ████ █████ ███ █ ██████ █████ ██ █████████ ██████ ███ ███████ ███ ████ ██████████

Summarize Argument

The author believes that the government’s tax collection agency has not followed through on its initiative to crack down on violations of corporate income tax law. This is because audits, which are the primary tool to detect these violations, have not been completed a single time through the year-long duration of the initiative.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes that just because the audits have not been completed, they have yielded no important information about these corporations and the agency has not taken any meaningful steps to implement their plan.

The author also assumes that not completing audits within a year demonstrates a lack of action from the agency to follow through with their initiative.
