One taxpayer may receive ______ deductions totaling ______.

• A. Two $500
• B. Three $750
• C. One $1000
• D. Four $600

Answer: (B)

The question tests a constraint on both how many deductions a taxpayer can have and the total amount those deductions must add up to. In this scenario, the valid combination is three deductions that sum to $750. That option matches both parts of the rule: the number of deductions is three, and the total is $750.

The other options fail because they either use an incorrect number of deductions (two or four) or an incorrect total (either $500 or $1,000). So three deductions totaling $750 is the only choice that fits the required pattern.
