Explanation:

1)

From the pie chart and text, three sources can be identified. The pie chart shows Federal Funds (22%), Income Tax (19%), and Sales Tax (14%) as sources. Also, the text mentions other fees, but the chart gives clear examples. So three sources are Federal Funds, Income Tax, and Sales Tax (or Insurance Trusts, Licenses, Local Government Funds as other options from the chart).

The text doesn't directly define sales tax, but from general knowledge and the context of state income (along with income tax and federal funds), a sales tax is a tax imposed on the sale of goods and services, collected by the state (as seen in the chart with 14% of state income from it).

From the text, a federal grant is the largest source of state income, and by law, it must be used in certain ways following guidelines set by the federal government (e.g., for education, building projects with accessibility for disabled as per the Americans with Disabilities Act).

Answer:

Three sources of income for a state are Federal Funds, Income Tax, and Sales Tax (or other valid sources from the chart like Insurance Trusts, Licenses, Local Government Funds).
