单选题
All the essential services on which we depend are ______.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】第二段第一句就指出,许多重要的公共服务都是由国家或地方政府提供的,所以A正确。本段中提到“....frequently needed to borrow money to finance major capital spending...”,即公共服务频繁的需要经济援助,但并不总是这样,所以B不正确。又从“... requiring more money than is raised through taxes alone...”可知,仅仅依靠税收是不行的,所以C不正确。D选项明显错误。
