At the same time, they provide state and local governments with billions of dollars of revenue. Tobacco taxes, which generate more than twice as much, have proven【C3】______in the decline of smoking, which has saved millions of lives.
Taxes can also be an important tool for environmental protection, and many economists say taxing carbon would be the best way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

选项
答案
H
解析
[语法判断]空格位于系动词is和形容词bad之间,且句子成分完整,可考虑填入副词。[语义判断]该句指出,如果你像很多人一样相信财富不平等_______是不好的。在备选副词中,只有H)inherently“天性地,固有地”填入空格符合句意,表示财富不平等本身是不好的。
