Read the passage carefully and answer the question.

I designed, after my first voyage, to spend the rest of my days in Baghdad, but it was no
longer I grew weary of an indolent life, and I put to sea a second time, with merchants of
known probity. We embarked on board of a good ship, and after recommending
ourselves to God, set sail. One day we landed on an island covered with several sorts
of fruit trees, but we could see neither man nor animal. We walked in the meadows,
along the streams that watered them. Whilst some diverted themselves with gathering
flowers, and other fruits, I took my provisions, and sat down near a stream betwixt two
high trees, which afforded a delightful shade. I made a good meal and afterwards fell
asleep. I cannot tell how long I slept, but when I woke up the ship was no longer in view.
In this sad condition, I was ready to die with grief. I cried out in agony, beat my head
and breast, and threw myself upon the ground where I lay sometimes, overwhelmed by
a rushing current of thoughts, each more distressing than the last. When I gazed
towards the sea, I could discern nothing but sky and water; but looking over the land I
beheld something white; and coming down, I took what provisions I had left, and went
toward the object, which was so distant that at first, I could not distinguish what it was.

The narrator found life on land is very ________.


busy
dangerous

It is true that increasing demand for a limited number of products drives up the price of
those products. However, if we cut tax rates, then people will retain a higher percentage
of their income and will be encouraged to work harder and produce more. Therefore,
the increase in demand resulting from greater disposable income will not result in higher
prices for the products available.

In the passage above, the author makes which of the following arguments?
Reducing taxes can fail to result in greater disposable income
Reducing taxes is likely to decrease demand
Reducing taxes is likely to result in less disposable income
Reducing taxes will not necessarily lead to increased prices
