According to the new telecommunications regulations, any internet service provider (ISP) that receives a rural expansion grant must comply with the federal data retention mandate. Complying with this mandate requires the ISP to maintain physical servers within the federal territory. Furthermore, no ISP that maintains physical servers within the federal territory is eligible for the small-business tax exemption. ApexNet is an ISP that receives a rural expansion grant, while Connectia is an ISP that is eligible for the small-business tax exemption.
Based on the information above, which of the following statements must be true? (Select all that apply)
- ApexNet is not eligible for the small-business tax exemption.Cevap
- Connectia does not receive a rural expansion grant.Cevap
- CAny ISP that is not eligible for the small-business tax exemption receives a rural expansion grant.
- DIf an ISP does not receive a rural expansion grant, it is eligible for the small-business tax exemption.
- EMost ISPs that comply with the federal data retention mandate also receive a rural expansion grant.
Cevap
The statements that must be true are: ApexNet is not eligible for the small-business tax exemption, and Connectia does not receive a rural expansion grant.
The correct statements follow directly from valid conditional reasoning. The stimulus establishes a chain: Rural Expansion Grant → Comply with Mandate → Maintain Servers → Not Eligible for Exemption. Because ApexNet triggers the first sufficient condition (it receives the grant), the final necessary condition must follow (it is not eligible for the exemption). Furthermore, the contrapositive of this chain dictates: Eligible for Exemption → Do Not Maintain Servers → Do Not Comply with Mandate → No Rural Expansion Grant. Because Connectia triggers the sufficient condition of this contrapositive chain (it is eligible for the exemption), the final necessary condition must follow (it does not receive the grant).
