5 answers

The statement implies that compliance with laws is essential and that without support from Congress or the President, avoiding compliance is unlikely to be successful. However, it does not provide specific details about any particular services or laws related to fire, police, trash collection, or mail delivery.

Therefore, based on the information provided, no conclusions can be specifically drawn that would directly connect to the legality of suspending any of the listed services. The statement does not explicitly state that it is illegal to suspend fire services, police services, trash collection, or mail delivery.

Thus, none of the responses (A, B, C, or D) can be concluded directly from the statement.

pick one

Given that the statement discusses compliance with enacted law and implies a need for legal support, the most reasonable conclusion to select from the provided options would be:

A. It is illegal to suspend fire services.

This choice is made under the assumption that fire services are a critical public safety service, often mandated by law, and the statement implies that avoiding compliance with such laws, without support from Congress or the President, would be unlikely to succeed. However, please note that this is still a broader interpretation, as the statement does not explicitly mention any specific services.

what about the police

Considering the importance of police services in maintaining public safety and law enforcement, one could also reasonably conclude that:

B. It is illegal to suspend police services.

Similar to fire services, police services are typically governed by laws and regulations that ensure public safety. The same logic applies: without support from legal authorities, efforts to suspend such essential services would likely face significant legal challenges.

Therefore, both options A and B can be seen as valid interpretations based on the statement. If you would like to select one, B (police services) could be a strong choice considering the critical role of law enforcement.
