Check all that apply.They are led by mayors.They have councils that create new laws.They have managers who supervise the government.They have elected councils.They are the basic government structures of cities and towns.

Answer
A
They are led by mayors.
B
They have councils that create new laws.
C
They have managers who supervise the government.
D
They have elected councils.
E
They are the basic government structures of cities and towns.

Explanation

Both systems have elected councils that make local laws, and both are basic ways to organize city and town government. In a council-manager system, a professional manager supervises daily government operations, so that feature is not shared with the mayor-council system. The two systems also differ in the mayor’s role, so “They are led by mayors” is not common to both.
