DISCUSSION: Virtual players skin animals to create valuable items. This generates wealth (last sentence of paragraph 4 of passage A). Real life fisherman gather fish, which produces a good which can be eaten or sold.
So both activities generate wealth using labour. One is virtual, one is real. The second passage suggests that such activities should not be taxed unless and until the good is sold. (Paragraph 3 of passage B)
___________
- “The latter” is fishing. Paragraph 3 of passage B say that fish is “property”. By any normal definition of the word, property is a form of wealth.
- CORRECT. Read paragraph 3 of passage B for the full picture. The author only mentions fishing because it is similar to generating wealth online. (Last sentence of paragraph 4 of passage A says that skinning animals online creates wealth.)
- Last sentence of paragraph 3 of passage B say that creating wealth online should not be taxed.
- The author thinks neither gathering fish nor generating wealth online should be taxed. (paragraph 3 of passage B)
- The fishing in paragraph 3 of passage B is real world fishing.
