… to eliminate all local taxes.
Think carefully.
It can't be A,C..
So That leaves me to D and B.
So.. is it B?
Yes, you are correct. If people in your community voted to eliminate all local taxes, it would most likely lead to the disappearance of the regional military base (Option C). The reason for this is that military bases are generally funded by government taxes, including local taxes. Without local tax revenue, there would be a significant reduction in funds available to support the military base, potentially leading to its closure or downsizing.
To arrive at this answer, you can use logical reasoning based on the understanding of how taxes contribute to various goods and services. By considering the purpose and funding sources of each option listed, you can determine which one would be most affected by the elimination of local taxes. In this case, the military base heavily relies on tax revenue, making it the most likely to disappear if taxes were eliminated.
