Question

which detail shows the main idea that the government needs to collect taxes? \governments create and enforce laws.\ \in the united states, citizens pay many different types of taxes every year.\ \it costs money to perform all of the government’s jobs, and they need to get that money from somewhere.\ \depending on how much money someone makes, they pay different amounts of taxes\

Explanation:

To determine which detail supports the main idea that the government needs to collect taxes, we analyze each option:

• "Governments create and enforce laws." This is about law - making, not tax collection need.
• "In the United States, citizens pay many different types of taxes every year." This describes tax payment types, not the need for collection.
• "It costs money to perform all of the government’s jobs, and they need to get that money from somewhere." This explains that government jobs require money, so they need to collect taxes (as a source of money), directly supporting the main idea.
• "Depending on how much money someone makes, they pay different amounts of taxes." This is about tax rates based on income, not the need for collection.

Answer:

The option "It costs money to perform all of the government’s jobs, and they need to get that money from somewhere." (the third option)
