Which of the following relationships is most likely to be spurious?
 
 

  a) Lower income people are more supportive of job-training programs than upper income people are.
  b) People with higher education have higher political knowledge than do people with lower education.
  c) Chevrolet owners are more likely to vote Democratic than BMW owners are.
  d) Cities with high unemployment have higher crime rates than cities with low unemployment.
 


Question 2

Several studies have found that people with higher education have higher political tolerance and people with lower education have lower political tolerance. However, it has been suggested that education does not directly affect political tolerance. Rather, greater education leads to greater exposure to social diversity and this in turn leads to higher political tolerance. Thus, when greater education does not lead to greater exposure to social diversity, it does not lead to higher political tolerance. In this situation, what kind of variable is exposure to social diversity?
 
  A. A dependent variable
  B. An independent variable
  C. An antecedent variable
  D. An intervening variable
