Which is not something that would be paid for with taxpayer money?

A) telephone lines

B) new high school

C) road construction

D) new police department

I'd say:

a. telephone lines

Answer is A.

Money received from the taxes is used for projects that belong to the govern and are under its responsability, they are public projects, in which a new high school, a road construction and a new police department are include. But telephone companies are responsables for the telephone lines, and they are private companies.
