题目信息

Five years ago, as part of a plan to encourage citizens of Levaska to increase the amount of money they put into savings, Levaska's government introduced special savings accounts in which up to $3,000 a year can be saved with no tax due on the interest unless money is withdrawn before the account holder reaches the age of sixty-five. Millions of dollars have accumulated in the special accounts, so the government's plan is obviously working.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?

A:A substantial number of Levaskans have withdrawn at least some of the money they had invested in the special accounts.

B:Workers in Levaska who already save money in long-term tax-free accounts that are offered through their workplace cannot take advantage of the special savings accounts introduced by the government.

C:The rate at which interest earned on money deposited in regular savings accounts is taxed depends on the income bracket of the account holder.

D:Many Levaskans who already had long-term savings have steadily been transferring those savings into the special accounts.

E:Many of the economists who now claim that the government's plan has been successful criticized it when it was introduced.

正确答案： D:Many Levaskans who already had long-term savings have steadily been transferring those savings into the special accounts.

看结尾这一句。Millions of dollars have accumulated in the special accounts, so the government’s plan is obviously working.表示这个政策确实执行了，而special accounts的储蓄额确实增加了。题目问的是削弱，那就只能从这其中找原因，而不是从题目以外的地方引进他因。

D的话，意思是许多已经存了长期的人把钱转到了special accounts里。也就是说从总量上来说，这些钱只是换了个账户，性质是不变的。还是长期存款。这样政策的目的并没有达到。
