Critical Reasoning

Low-income families are often unable to afford as much child care as they need. One government program would award low-income families a refund on the income taxes they pay of as much as $1,000 for each child under age four. This program would make it possible for all low-income families with children under age four to obtain more child care than they otherwise would have been able to afford.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls into question the claim that the program would make it possible for all low-income families to obtain more child care?
(A) The average family with children under age four spends more than $1,000 a year on child care.
(B) Some low-income families in which one of the parents is usually available to care for children under age four may not want to spend their income tax refund on child care.
(C) The reduction in government revenues stemming from the income tax refund will necessitate cuts in other government programs, such as grants for higher education.
(D) Many low-income families with children under age four do not pay any income taxes because their total income is too low to be subject to such taxes.
(E) Income taxes have increased substantially over the past twenty years, reducing the money that low-income families have available to spend on child care.


I picked D first.
But now slightly confused between B and D.
OA after few explanations...

If you notice the question is asking for a flaw in the argument that will weaken the statement that the government plan will benefit to ALL low income families that have childcare needs. I'll select D because, if your income is not taxed, then you're not going to receive a tax break. The final answer is D.

Choice A--strengthens the argument.

Choice B is a possible choice but is eliminated based on "some families". We need to talk about majority.

Choice C is not related to the context of the argument.

Choice E strengthens the argument.

Let us know what the OA is.

thanks

B also weakens the argument equally ...."some are not doing as expected" so....ALL are not doing.

D-" many dont come under the criteria" so ALL are not doing.

anyfurther explanation would you like to give.

Thank you,

OA: D

If you had a choice between the word some and many, which word would you select that comes close to the word ALL. I think the word many would come close to the word ALL? Also, if you notice, choice B takes the argument out of context because the argument is about families that do have child care needs will benefit from tax credit. So, the argument applies to those that do have a child care need. If you think about it, choice B becomes illogical because the refund only applies to those who do have child care expense. So not everyone is eligible for child care tax credit. Families that do not send their children to day care are not eligible for this tax credit. So, therefore, how will those families spend the refund??

I like the explanation on D
