Prethinking:
The argument is concerned with overall tax revenues for the community, so we're looking for an option that either criticizes or has no impact on argument that local tax rebates should be given to businesses on the basis of the condition as mentioned in the passage.
Process of Elimination:
A. Correct. Success or failure of the business in a community is not in the scope of the argument, so this statement has no impact on the argument.
B. Wrong. This option defends the argument by pointing how businesses can generate higher tax revenues.
C. Wrong. This option also strengthens the argument by suggesting that higher the business activity, higher are the tax revenues.
D. Wrong. Clearly, this option supports the argument.
E. Wrong. The statement is in the favour of the argument by informing that an office or factory in a community increases the business activities of local tax-paying businesses, generating more tax revenue as a result.[/quote]

The main concern of the argument revolves around increase in tax revenues. All answers address the issue of tax revenue increases and support the author’s argument, except for answer choice A. Therefore, A is our answer.
