Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Policy adoption is the process of selecting the policy that will be implemented. Policy formulation is the stage in which various policy options are identified and explored. Policy implementation is the stage in which the selected policy is carried out by using human and financial resources. Policy assessment is the stage in which the implemented policy is evaluated in terms of its compliance with statuary requirements and effectiveness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Setting an agenda, the first step in the policy-making process, involves considering the significance of the problem, the political support for addressing the problem, and the ability to perceive the viability of proposed alternative solutions for the problem. After the agenda is set, the policy can be formulated. Once formulated, the policy must be adopted or agreed upon before it can be implemented. Only after being implemented can the policy be assessed or evaluated in terms of its effectiveness. The final step is modifying the policy on the basis of the results of the assessment.
