Explain please!

Could someone please explain why the answer is not C? I see why B is correct, but I thought the author of passage B would have viewed the activity described in A as a taxable activity. Thanks!

Hi @hkolon,

Happy to help!

Answer choice (C) is incorrect because it says that the author of passage B would only believe that the virtual animal skins should be taxed. This is incorrect because the author of passage B tells us that fish pulled from the ocean are currently taxed and they do not present any arguments to suggest that they should not be.

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
