Two candidates are running for office in the state senate. During a debate, the candidates say the following:

Candidate A: "People are responsible for one another. We will all benefit if everyone gives their fair share. My opponent, Candidate B, doesn't really care about people."

Candidate B: "Individual responsibility is of primary importance. We will create jobs and grow the economy by cutting taxes. My opponent, Candidate A, is a bit naive and inexperienced." Given these statements, evaluate how likely it would be for each candidate to be in favor of government-funded health care.

a. Candidate A would be probably be opposed to government-funded health
care. Candidate B would probably be in favor of it.
b. Both candidates would probably be in favor of government-funded health care.
c. Both candidates would probably be opposed to government-funded health
care.
d. Candidate A would probably be in favor of government-funded health care.
Candidate B would be probably be opposed to it.

Given these statements, d. Candidate A would probably be in favor of government-funded health care and Candidate B would be probably be opposed to it.

Explanation:

In this debate, there is a clear division between Candidate A and Candidate B in what regards responsibility: Candidate A, on the one hand, advocates for shared responsibilities and claims we would all benefit from everyone's share, so we may easily assume he or she would be in favor of government-funded health care. On the other hand, Candidate B advocates for individual responsability and reduction of government assistance in private matters, so he or she would probable be opposed to government-funded health care.
