Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Declining trust in government cuts across all demographic groups and ages. While there may have been slight fluctuations in trust in government over certain periods, the overall trend is a decline that is not specific to any particular age group or demographic. Option A is incorrect because while trust in government did decline following 9/11, it was not the greatest decline in the past 50 years. Option B is incorrect because trust in government did not consistently rise during the first decade of the twenty-first century. Option D is incorrect because surveys show that younger generations have less trust in government than older generations. Option E is incorrect because surveys show that younger generations' trust in government was already low before the 9/11 attacks, and therefore could not have declined in the immediate aftermath.
