Correct Answer
C. Grazing land with thick grasses used for pasture of 100 heads of cattleExplanation
The correct answer is "Grazing land with thick grasses used for pasture of 100 heads of cattle". This is because the other options mention land that is either bare and uncultivated, unutilized and unimproved upon, or without ongoing breeding or training activities. In contrast, grazing land with thick grasses used for pasture of 100 heads of cattle implies that the land is being utilized for a specific purpose, which does not align with the definition of idle land.Rate this question:

Municipalities as a group are entitled to 34% of total Internal Revenue Allotment, distributed based on formula adopted since 3rd year of RA 7160 implementation- 60% population, 40% land area. The practical implication of this scheme is that-
- A.
Urbanization in already-populous towns is reinforced with bigger IRA allotments.
- B.
There is ambivalent signal for towns to control population growth and succeed in family planning.
- C.
The allocation does not consider 'actual need' such as poverty incidence or median family income.
- D.
All of the choices
Correct Answer
D. All of the choicesExplanation
The correct answer is "all of the choices" because all of the given statements accurately describe the practical implications of the distribution scheme for Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) to municipalities. The first statement suggests that urbanization in already-populous towns is reinforced with larger IRA allotments, indicating that more funds are allocated to towns with higher populations. The second statement implies that there is an ambivalent signal for towns to control population growth and succeed in family planning, as the distribution formula does not directly incentivize population control. The third statement states that the allocation does not consider factors such as poverty incidence or median family income, indicating that the distribution scheme does not take into account the actual needs of municipalities. Therefore, all of these statements accurately describe the practical implications of the IRA distribution scheme.Rate this question:
