They are saying that they would like to see new roads and improvements, but they refuse to pay for it by giving up more money in taxes. Hope this helps :)
Answer: (b)
Explanation:
Given
Mass of box 
Applied force 
Friction force 
Box travels a distance of 
time taken 
Net unbalanced force 
Work done by the unbalanced force

Power developed by unbalanced force

Thus, option (b) is correct.
In the centripetal movement, what happens with velocity is that it will remain constant, always pointing in its tangential direction of the trajectory. Said speed, although constant, will have a constant direction that will generate an acceleration that will always point towards the center of the circle radius. Both vectors as the turn is performed will always be perpendicular to each other.
