Explanation:

• Question 3: The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is the U.S. government agency responsible for implementing tax legislation, interpreting tax law, ensuring taxpayer compliance, and collecting income taxes. The U.S. president and the Commissioner of the Treasury do not have these specific operational tax - related responsibilities. Congress is involved in tax law - making (legislation), not in the day - to - day implementation and collection as described.

Answer:

• Question 3: A. The Internal Revenue Service
• Question 4: B. higher taxable incomes pay a larger percentage rate than do taxpayers with lower taxable incomes.
