In this passage, Sharon and Jasmine comment on proposed cuts to the state education budget. Sharon:Our state cannot afford to cut spending for education, no matter what the monetary benefit may be. If we cut teaching positions and increase class sizes as proposed, we will affirm that educating our children is not a priority of the state. Instead of simply looking at the short-term gain these savings will create for our budget, we should consider the long-term investment in an educated citizenry. Educating our children—all our children—as well as we can is the most effective way to reduce future costs in our state, whether they come in the form of health care bills, prison expenses, or unemployment assistance. Only someone fooled by the allure of short-term gains would implement the proposed education cuts. Jasmine:While cuts to education are always politically unpopular, it is time to recognize the debt crisis present in our state. We can no longer pretend we generate enough income to support the spending our current education program demands. It is irresponsible to incur the level of debt necessary to pay for programs currently in place; one day our children and grandchildren will have to pay off this debt. The modest cuts proposed to the education budget would help close the deficit by nearly thirty percent. Though the savings will be major, the effects of these changes will be relatively minor. For example, class sizes are only projected to increase from 25 students to 28 students. By implementing spending cuts, we can bequeath a balanced budget to future generations.No sources were consulted in the composition of this passage.SubmitBased on its use by Jasmine, it can be inferred that the word incur belongs to which of the following word groups?highlight textAexpand, inflate, magnifyBrequest, solicit, demandCflaunt, display, flourishDacquire, obtain, contractEsettle, pay, reimburse
