Question

i. (10.11) In 2000, when the federal budget showed a large surplus, the Pew Research Center asked random samples of adults two questions about using the remaining surplus. Both questions stated that Social Security would be "fixed." Question A: Should the money be used for a tax cut, or should it be used to fund new government programs? Question B: Should the money be used for a tax cut, or should it be spent on programs for education, the environment, health care, crime-fighting and military defense? One of these questions drew 60% favoring a tax cut. The other drew only 22%, which wording pulls respondents toward a tax cut? eBook Question A had 60% favoring a tax cut, while Question B had 22% favoring a tax cut. O Question A had 22% favoring a tax cut, while Question B had 60% favoring a tax cut.

Explanation / Answer

Correct answer is option A "Question A had 60% favoring a tax cut, while question B had 22% favoring a tax cut"

This is because Question A's wording is pulling respondents toward a tax cut as it is more likely as compared to question B's wording because people need tax cut instead of new government programs.

we know that programs for education, environment, health care, crime fighting and military defence are well known uses for tax money, thats why it pulls less respondents toward question B with only 22%

thats why Question B has only 22% and Question A has 60%

So, option A is correct
