Question

37.
In one survey, 61 percent of Americans said that they
supported the government spending more on 'assistance
to the poor'.

(A) Therefore, the framing of a question can heavily
influence the answer in many ways, which matters if
your aim is to obtain a 'true measure' of what people
think. And next time you hear a politician say 'surveys
prove that the majority of the people agree with me',
be very wary.

(B) But when the same population was asked whether they
supported spending more government money on 'welfare',
only 21 percent were in favour. In other words, if you
ask people about individual welfare programmes — such
as giving financial help to people who have long-term
illnesses and paying for school meals for families with
low income — people are broadly in favour of them.

(C) But if you ask about 'welfare' — which refers to those
exact same programmes that you've just listed — they're
against it. The word 'welfare' has negative connotations,
perhaps □□□□□.
