When a cityexperiences a sharp declinein population,the city's tax revenues, which pay for suchcity servicesas police protectionandmaintenance of water lines, also decrease. The areato bepoliced and thenumber and lengthofthe water lines to be maintained, however, donotdecrease. Attemptingto make up thetaxrevenue lost by raising tax ratesis not feasible,since higher tax rates would causeeven more residents to leave.

The information givenmost strongly supportswhichofthe following general claims?

A.   If,in a city with sharplydeclining population,policeprotection and water linemaintenancedo not deteriorate, some other service previously providedby the city will deteriorate or beeliminated.

B.   If a city'staxrates are held stableover aperiod of time,neither the populationnorthe levels of city services providedwill tend to decline over that period.

C.   If a city's population declinessharply,policeprotection and water linemaintenance arethe services thatdeteriorate most immediately and most markedly.

D.   A citythat suffersrevenue lossesbecause of a sharp declinein population can makeup some of the lost taxrevenue by raisingtaxrates, provided the city's tax rates arelow in relation to those of other cities.

E.   A city that is losing residents becausetaxrates are perceived astoo high by thoseresidentscanreverse this population trend by bringing its tax rates down to amoremoderate level.

题目是说当一个城市人口下降时，用于支付警力和水管维护等城市服务的税收也会下降。但这个地区的警力和水管维护等服务都没有减少。企图通过提高税收来弥补税收损失是不可行的，因为高税收会更加导致人口流失。

这是一道结论题，让我们找结论，不是问增强，还是削弱。

文中说增税方案并不可行，不能用来弥补损失，可面临的事实是——人口减少，税收下滑，而警力、水管维护上的支出又不能少，因此只好得出结论：减少或停止在城市其他上的服务。
