A、The news coverage of debates. B、The election process for representatives. C、The way government supports business. D、The amount

W: I’m going to leave work early today. There’s a debate this evening at 6 o’clock. So I’m going to get an early dinner and head over there.
M: Who’s debating about what?
W: The two candidates for the states senate are going to answer questions from reporters. The Daily News is sponsoring the event. Members of the audience will also have a chance to ask questions, so maybe I’ll speak, too.
M: Oh, so you’re interested in politics. Are you helping one of them?
W: No, I just want to learn more about the candidates so I can make an informed decision.
M: Well, I don’t think I’ll be voting, so I guess I won’t bother with that.
W: Why aren’t going to vote?
M: Oh, My one vote doesn’t matter.
W: Sure it does!
M: Well, besides that I don’t think any of the politicians these days represent my ideas. I’d like to see the government support guaranteed loans for people who start small businesses. I’ve wanted to open my own bakery for years and I can’t get a loan.
W: You know what? That’s one of the issues they’ll probably discuss tonight. One of the candidates wants tax breaks for large companies. He says that will create more jobs. The other candidate owns a restaurant. She wants to start programmes to promote more small businesses.
M: Hmm. What do you know? Maybe I should show up there myself.
