Question

based on thoreau’s beliefs and \civil disobedience,\ he most likely decided not to pay poll tax because
he could not afford to pay taxes.
he disagreed with the idea of it.
he did not understand the law.
he wanted to experience prison.

Explanation:

Thoreau's Civil Disobedience centers on resisting unjust government actions. He refused to pay the poll tax because he opposed how the tax revenue supported slavery and the Mexican-American War, meaning he fundamentally disagreed with the tax's purpose and the unjust systems it funded. The other options are incorrect: he could afford the tax, understood the law, and did not seek prison as a goal (it was a consequence of his protest).

Answer:

he disagreed with the idea of it.
