The government of a small town is concerned about the litter created when people leave styrofoam cups used to serve large beverages on the ground. The government decides to tax these by implementing a $1 tax on these drinks.

D. Reduce the number of beverages sold in styrofoam cups

Explanation:

The Government is concerned about the styrofoam litter in the town and for this reason imposed a $1 on such drinks. What this will do is to make such drinks more expensive for people to buy so they will buy less of it thereby reducing the number of beverages sold in styrofoam cups.

As less of such drinks are bought, it stands to reason that less litter will accumulate as a result of styrofoam cups.

very interesting question. i'm a guy, so my vote hardly matters, but blue according to my wife is a purple with more blue than red.

the "brown"   is not mauve. that's the tough one. it has more brown the mauve in it. you almost need a color wheel to tell or a paint sample book. her gloves are a deeper purple.

i would also qualify this by saying you need say how good your monitor is. i'm working with a lap top so i couldn't swear by anything i've written is accurate. i had 3 women offer an opinion. they were not in agreement and they were not certain.

for posting. i'm more of a math type so i'm staying out of this but it was lots of fun.
