Question pretext
I am going to read you some brief descriptions of people and their situations. I would like you to listen to the descriptions and tell me how much say these
people have in getting their government to address issues of importance to each person.
For each vignette ask:
How much say [does] [name of person] have in getting the government to address issues that interest [him/her]?
Please circle one option per vignette.
Literal question
[Jane] lacks clean drinking water because the government is pursuing an
industrial development plan. In the campaign for an upcoming election, an
opposition party has promised to address the issue, but she feels it would
be futile to vote for the opposition since the government is certain to win.
