Prep2012-Pack1-CR-057VCR000738 Hard When a cityexperiences a sharp decline in population, the city's tax revenues, which payfor such city services as police protection and maintenance of water lines,also decrease. The area to be policed and the number and length of the waterlines to be maintained, however, do not decrease. Attempting to make up the taxrevenue lost by raising tax rates is not feasible, since higher tax rates wouldcause even more residents to leave. 一个城市如果人口出现很快的下降，城市的税收收入（用以支持警察保护盒水源的）会减少。但警察巡逻和水源领域的工作领域不会减少。为了弥补税收收入而去提高税率是不可行的，因为高税收会导致更多的人离开。 The information givenmost strongly supports which of the following general claims? A. If, in a city with sharplydeclining population, police protection and water line maintenancedo not deteriorate, some other service previously provided by the city willdeteriorate or be eliminated. B. If a city's tax rates are held stable overa period of time, neither the population nor the levels of city servicesprovided will tend to decline over that period. C. If a city's population declines sharply, policeprotection and water line maintenance are the services that deteriorate mostimmediately and most markedly. D. A city that suffers revenue losses because of asharp decline in population can make upsome of the lost tax revenue by raisingtax rates, provided the city's tax rates are low in relation to those of othercities. E. A city that is losingresidents because tax rates are perceived as too high by those residents canreverse this population trendby bringing its tax rates down to a more moderatelevel.
