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

[Moses] lacks clean drinking water. He would like to change this, but he
can’t vote, and feels that no one in the government cares about this issue.
So he suffers in silence, hoping something will be done in the future.
