Literal question

76B-ETH. Which of the following statements is closest to your view? Choose Statement 1 or Statement 2. [Interviewer: Probe for strength of opinion]: Do you agree or agree very strongly?]
Statement 1: Because of Ethiopia’s diversity, some type of federalism with independent regional governments is still the best form of government for the country.
Statement 2: Federalism is too divisive and leads to conflicts; Ethiopia should change to a unitary government in which the central government has more authority in decision making.
