Read the passage below and answer the following questions:

The government of an island nation is trying to decide how to spend its limited income. It has 7 million in its budget and eight programs to choose from. There is no provision in the Constitution to have a surplus, and each program has asked the minimum amount they need, in other words, no program can be partially funded. Programs and their funding applications are:

* The preparation of the hurricane : $ 2,500,000
* Port improvements: $ 1 million
* Music Program School : $ 0.5 million
* Senate office building remodeling : $ 1,500,000
* Program agricultural grant $ 2 million
* National radio : $ 0,500,000
* Program Small Business Loans $ 3 million
* Intl $ 4 million

                                                               

1. Senators from urban areas are very concerned about ensuring that there will be funds for a new international airport. Senators from rural areas refuse to finance anything until the money of agricultural subsidies is appropriate. If the legislature funds these two programs, which of the following statements could they spend the rest of the money?

A. program of the School of Music and the National Radio
B. harbor improvements and the music program at school
C. Hurricane Preparedness
D. National radio and senate office building remodeling
E. loan program for small businesses

                                                               

answers

1-A
clarification :
The total cost of the music program at the school and national radio is $ 1 million, the amount left after the international airport and agricultural subsidies are financed.
International agricultural subsidy program + airport
$ 4,000,000 + $ 2 million = $ 6
music program at the school and national radio is 1 million.
Thus, a total of $ 7 million.
