Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
The correct order of events in the policy-making process is as follows: 1) setting an agenda, 2) policy formulation, 3) policy adoption, 4) policy implementation, 5) policy assessment, 6) policy modification. An agenda must be set before a policy is formulated; this phase 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.
