Answer to Question 1

(Answer: b)

Answer to Question 2

 Social problems come into being as people define an issue as harmful and in need of change.
 Most of today's problems differ from those that concerned the public several generations ago.
 Politics is usually a matter of claims and counterclaims about what should and should not be defined as social problems.
