Question

question #20
ginger was forced into an arranged marriage at a very young age by the government. she wanted to attend school, but the government denied her request because it was determined that she was not intelligent enough because she was a female. without an education the government forced ginger to become a farmer. as a farmer, ginger was forced to turn over the food she grew to the government and was not allowed to sell it for personal profit. every day ginger must face an image of the dear leader and pay homage in her home made of mud bricks with no running water or sewer service. which government type does the passage describe best?

• democracy
• unitary
• dictatorship
• federal

Explanation:

A dictatorship is a form of government where one person or a small group has absolute power. In the passage, Ginger has no rights (denied education, forced marriage, forced to give up food to government), and there's a cult - like element (paying homage to the leader). In a democracy, people have rights like education and can participate. A unitary government is about the structure of governance (centralized power in the state, but not necessarily absolute and oppressive as here). A federal government is about the division of power between central and regional governments, which is not relevant here.

Answer:

Dictatorship
