A political ideology focused on equality and supporting government intervention in society and the economy if it promotes equality.

• A. Horserace coverage
• B. Modern liberalism
• C. Margin of error
• D. Political culture

Answer: (B)

This describes modern liberalism. It’s an ideology that accepts markets can drive prosperity but argues for government action to promote equality and expand opportunities. That means support for public programs and regulations aimed at reducing inequality, such as social safety nets, public education, healthcare access, progressive taxation, and workers’ protections. It’s distinct from other terms here because those others refer to unrelated ideas: horserace coverage is about media emphasis on who’s ahead in campaigns; margin of error is a statistical concept in polling; political culture means the shared beliefs and norms within a society’s political system.
