prep2012 CR 036

[306097127]

A proposed change to federal income tax laws would eliminate deductions from taxable income for donations a taxpayer has made to charitable and educational institutions.If this change were adopted,wealthy individuals would no longer be permitted such deductions.Therefore,many charitable and educational institutions would have to reduce services,and some would have to close their doors.
The argument above assumes which of the following?
A Without the incentives offered by federal income tax laws,at least some wealthy individuals would not donate as much money to charitable and educational institutions as they otherwise would have.
B Money contributed by individuals who make their donations because of provisions in the federal tax laws provides the only source of funding for many charitable and educational institutions.
C The primary reason for not adopting the proposed change in the federal income tax laws cited above is to protect wealthy individuals from having to pay higher taxes.
D Wealthy individuals who donate money to charitable and educational institutions are the only individuals who donate money to such institutions.
E Income tax laws should be changed to make donations to charitable and educational institutions the only permissible deductions from taxable income

I want to know why B & D are not the correct answer.
-B said its the only source of funding for many charitable and educational institutions,which means without this souce of funding many charitable and educational institutions would have to reduce services,and some would have to close their doors
-D said wealthy individuals are the only individuals who donate money to such institutions,which means if wealthy individuals not donate money many charitable and educational institutions would have to reduce services,and some would have to close their doors
Is there anyone who could help me ?

I answered this exact question on another post. Try to google the first few words before you type everything up, wait a week, and then hear that your answer already was on these forums:

I could understand choice D is wrong for only individual,but why B is wrong,it saids "only source" rather than only individual.And would you please help to explain why A is the right answer?
thanks
