What action did the city council approve regarding road repairs?

• A. A road closure plan.
• B. A budget decrease for road repairs.
• C. A budget increase for road repairs.
• D. A new tax for schools.

Answer: (D)

A city council’s approval usually points to a policy or funding decision rather than a specific street project. The option describing a new tax for schools represents a formal revenue measure that the council has approved. This kind of action changes how money is raised to support city services, and in many city budgets that funding pool also influences how much is available for road work in the long term. The other items describe direct road actions or changes to road repair budgets, which would be separate approvals focused on the maintenance of the roads themselves rather than on creating a new source of revenue. Since the record indicates the council approved a new tax for schools, that policy-level funding action is the one that fits as the approved action described.
