Wait, can’t believe they’d issue equity! That sounds off.

I vaguely recall that direct borrowing from banks is also a method, but I can't remember if it's as common as the others.

I think we practiced a similar question where issuing bonds was definitely a method used by governments, so that might help narrow it down.

I remember discussing how governments typically don't issue equity like companies do, so I think D might be the answer.

I think the key here is to remember that governments don't operate like private companies. Issuing equity wouldn't be a method they'd use to raise funds.

Wait, I'm confused. Aren't governments able to borrow directly from banks? I'm not sure about this one.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Governments can use a variety of financing methods, so I'll need to carefully consider each option.

This seems like a straightforward question about government financing methods. I'll need to think through the different options and eliminate the ones governments wouldn't use.
