Hi!

Your answer is B.

It is <u><em>not</em></u> A because this doesn't really make sense. It's not the best answer.

It <u><em>is</em></u> B because, in sentences, the words around it will likely give the information you need to infer what the word means.

(For example, if I were to say "<em>She was </em><u><em>continuously</em></u><em> singing, for yesterday she sang for 4 straight hours, and it was extremely annoying</em>", pretend you do not know what "continuously" means. By using the words around it, such as "4 straight hours" you can predict that it means "never stopping".)

It is <u><em>not</em></u> C because not every single sentence contains a synonym or antonym.

(See the sentence above. The antonym of "continuously" would be 'never' or 'sometimes' or possibly 'discontinous'. There isn't always an antonym or synonym there, is there?)

It is <u><em>not</em></u> D because not every single word is defined in a passage.

(When you open an average book, is there just an entire page(s) dedicated to every single definition of a word? Most often, no, there is not.)

How taxes support the economy? write two sentences or more. Use ur own words
Amanda [17]

Answer:

Tax cuts boost demand by increasing disposable income and by encouraging businesses to hire and invest more.

Tax increases do the reverse. These demand effects can be substantial when the economy is weak but smaller when it is operating near capacity.

Explanation:

How do taxes affect the economy in the long run? High marginal tax rates can discourage work, saving, investment, and innovation, while specific tax preferences can affect the allocation of economic resources. But tax cuts can also slow long-run economic growth by increasing deficits
