GMAT Argument 82重新选题
写作题目
收起The following appeared in the editorial section of a local newspaper:
“This city should be able to improve existing services and provide new ones without periodically raising the taxes of the residents. Instead, the city should require that the costs of services be paid for by developers who seek approval for their large new building projects. After all, these projects can be highly profitable to the developers, but they can also raise a city’s expenses and increase the demand for its services.”
Discuss how well reasoned you find this argument. In your discussion be sure to analyze the line of reasoning and the use of evidence in the argument. For example, you may need to consider what questionable assumptions underlie the thinking and what alternative explanations or counterexamples might weaken the conclusion. You can also discuss what sort of evidence would strengthen or refute the argument, what changes in the argument would make it more logically sound, and what, if anything, would help you better evaluate its conclusion.

这个城市应该不必周期性地提高居民税收就能提高现有的服务,提供新的服务。相反,城市应该要求为大型新建筑项目申请许可的发展商支付服务的成本。毕竟这些项目给发展商带来的利润是很高的,但是他们也可能提高城市消费并增加对服务的需求。
