Answer
lay and collect taxes and duties, pay debts, regulate American Indian groups, borrow money, regulate commerce with foreign nations.
Explanation
The question presents a portion of the text from Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States. In this part of the Constitution, the powers granted explicitly to the United States Congress are laid out. This includes the power to lay and collect taxes and duties, pay debts, borrow money, and regulate commerce with both foreign nations and American Indian tribes. It should be noted that while Congress is given the power to regulate commerce among the States, they cannot regulate commerce inside a state. Hence, among the options given, "lay and collect taxes and duties", "pay debts", "regulate American Indian groups", "borrow money", "regulate commerce with foreign nations" are mentioned directly in Section 8, while the option, "regulate commerce inside a state" is not.
