States generally try to build up reserves in good times so they’re prepared for recessions and other fiscal emergencies and can avoid cutting public services during these difficult times. The amount of reserves a state needs depends on the potential volatility of its revenues and economy; states dependent on oil and other natural resources are particularly vulnerable because prices for these resources tend to fluctuate a lot. Sales taxes, which make up a third of state revenues, are rapidly collapsing as restaurants and stores across the country close their doors and lay off their workers. Income taxes, which make up another third of state revenues, also will decline sharply as mass layoffs rapidly push down people’s income and therefore their income taxes. Plus, the steep drop in the stock market means that wealthy people will soon begin reporting massive capital losses on their quarterly tax returns, further reducing state revenue.

The answer is "<span>she has not yet found the cues that will help her retrieve the information from long-term memory."

A long term memory is anything you recollect that happened in excess of a couple of minutes prior.
Long-term memories aren't all of equivalent quality. Stronger memories empower you to review an occasion, technique, or certainty on request. Weaker recollections frequently ring a bell just through provoking or reminding.</span>

Answer: The desire satisfaction theory states that the level of individuals happiness has to do with the satisfaction of their desires.

Explanation:

The desire satisfaction theory states that individuals level of well-being is directly proportional to the total level of desires satisfied in their life. According to the theory, one's life goes well once the person achieves his or her desires. Something is good for a person only if it satisfies the person's desires.

A desire might become defective because it is pointless not because the desire was not satisfied. Sometimes we have irrational or ill informed desires. An example is an individual who desires to draw a tattoo on his body but later becomes disappointed after drawing the tattoo. According to desire satisfaction theorists, this can be as a result of information failure. Also, theorists say that an individual might be worse off satisfying some desires not as a result of lower satisfaction gotten from the fulfillment of the desire but because the satisfaction is bad in itself. Lastly, theorists say a person may be disappointed because the desire is pointless and hence lacks excellence e.g. hitting a football against the wall or counting blade grasses.
