The  morality  of  the  welfare  state    on  contribution  and  responsibility.  Since  some  people  don’t    and  many  are  irresponsible,  the  choice  of  those  who  do  contribute  and  are  responsible  is  either  to  tolerate  the  free  riders,  refuse  to  pay  for  the    of  their  irresponsibility  or  trust  the  state  to    them.  Hence  the  government    against  smoking,  alcoholism,  obesity  and  gas  guzzling  ‐  the  first  two  solidly  in  place,  the  other  two  ramping  up.

Correct answer: depends

Explanation: The word 'depends' is a verb that indicates a conditional relationship, fitting grammatically as it aligns with the subject 'the morality of the welfare state.' This structure is coherent and contextually appropriate, as it suggests that the morality is contingent upon certain factors.

Meaning: 'Depends' means to be determined or influenced by something else.

Wrong options:

  • varies: 'Varies' is also a verb but implies a change in degree or amount, which does not fit the context of morality being conditional on specific factors.
  • effects: 'Effects' is a noun that does not fit grammatically as it does not serve as a verb in this context.
  • fight: 'Fight' is a verb that implies a struggle or battle, which does not relate to the conditional nature of morality.
  • contribute: 'Contribute' is a verb that means to give or add to something, which does not fit as it does not express a conditional relationship.
  • campaigns: 'Campaigns' is a noun that refers to organized efforts, which does not fit as a verb in this context.
  • elements: 'Elements' is a noun that refers to parts or components, which does not fit grammatically as it does not serve as a verb.
Correct answer: contribute
