Aulette interviewed people targeted for the Stepping Stone program, which is designed to help people leave public housing and make a down payment on a house. She found that people were hesitant to participate in the program. Why?
 
  a. They liked the nice apartments in the public housing projects.
  b. They did not want to move away and leave their neighbors who were often friends and sometimes family.
  c. Because public housing operated like insurance against economic difficulties.
  d. They objected to the government intrusion into their private financial lives.

Question 2

Researchers compared the levels of hunger and malnutrition in poverty-stricken areas of the United States before and after the implementation of nutrition and food stamp programs. They concluded that the programs
 
  a. actually made the situation worse because it encouraged people to become dependent on government handouts which were discontinued when the funding ran out halfway through the fiscal year.
  b. had not made much difference in hunger and malnutrition because of bureaucratic misapplication -- too much aid was given to people who did not really need it and too little was given to people who really did need it.
  c. helped many and reduced hunger and malnutrition by about half but needed to be expanded to help more.
  d. virtually eliminated hunger and made it difficult to find much evidence of the malnutrition identified in the earlier study.
