Hi all

In PT26-S2-Q4, regarding to (D), one explanation says that the issue is not irrelevant and another says that there is "only one" issue.

Shall I pay attention to the singular/plural form in five options? (Could it be a "mistaken point"?)

ps. PT25-S4-Q22 shows the same question, one explanation eliminates (D) because there is "only one" policy.

Yes, a plural word means something different from a singular word. The politician only raises one issue--taxpayer anger over loss of buying power--not multiple issues. Also, the issue he raises is relevant because taxpayer buying power is related to the government's alleged obligation to raise taxes. Two ways to eliminate this one.

25.4.22 is a point-at-issue question about community service.

Hi Earlcat

Thanks, I used to thought the LR question should focus on the logic rather than grammar.
BTW, IMO, because raising taxes would make taxpayers upset, there is a cause/effect relationship.

You can't have logic without grammar. Ce n'est pas possible.

Plural vs. singular actually has a great impact on the statement.
