thank you for your help~

I think that the answer to the first one is C. It is saying that since both of these systems (i.e. government taxation and forced labor) essentially force the person to work for another's purpose, that they are also both alike in that they are pernicious.
- A does not address the argument at hand: it does not talk about any general principle about the rights of individuals, the argument is claiming that taxation is a form of forced labor.
- B is not true, the argument says nothing about anything that "was once the case"
- D: There is no economic theory that is addressed.
- E: What? the argument says nothing about a hierarchical class system.

For the second question, the answer is A. It does not take into account that the money that is taken for taxation in some ways benefits the person who is taxed. They are two fundamentally different things.
-B: This is irrelevant. If it is "forced labor" in one tax bracket, it will be in all of them, regardless of the amount that is taxed.
-C: This is again irrelevant. If ANY work is taxed, that part would still be considered forced labor
-D: This would only strengthen the argument they are trying to make, but does not address the false reasoning
-E: This one should be marked off straight away, this answer doesn't address anything that is actually in the argument at all.

Hope this helps!

i agree with your answers of c and a.

to the op: where did you get these?

thank you so much! it really helps:)
I still can't get many of the logical reasoning questions right at the time, i am so worried, i don't think it's because of my carelessness, i just dont think the way as the answers do. I feel like trapped, could you tell me what to do?
