Question

1. reduced expenditures to achieve a balanced budget, and thus, to still fears deterring business expansion.
2. reduction of taxes, or if this proved impossible at the moment, firm assurance of no further increases.

–the conservative manifesto
1937
what is the second point presented in the conservative manifesto?
options:
the creation of a balanced budget
the reduction of taxes
the deterring of business expansion

Explanation:

We look at the second point in the Conservative Manifesto (labeled as "2."), which states "Reduced expenditures to achieve a balanced budget, and thus, to still fears deterring business expansion." The key part related to the main action here is achieving a balanced budget. The first option in the dropdown, "the creation of a balanced budget", aligns with this as reducing expenditures to achieve a balanced budget is about creating a balanced budget. The second option is the 7th point, and the third option misinterprets the "deterring business expansion" part (the point is to still fears that deter business expansion, not to deter it).

Answer:

the creation of a balanced budget
