Questions and instructions

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

[Alison] lacks clean drinking water. She and her neighbours are
supporting an opposition candidate in the forthcoming elections that has
promised to address the issue. It appears that so many people in her area
feel the same way that the opposition candidate will defeat the incumbent
representative.
