Question

Which statement describes a difference between the duties of state and
federal governments?
D
The federal government builds roads.
B
The federal government mints coins.
C
State governments establish courts.
D
State governments levy taxes.

Answer 1

B — The federal government mints coins.

Reason: Coining money is an exclusive federal power (Congress) under the Constitution. Establishing courts and levying taxes are powers exercised by both state and federal governments, and building roads is primarily a state/local responsibility (though the federal government may fund or help build some highways).
