OECD report focusing on the centre of government - the support structure serving the highest level of
the executive branch of government (presidents, prime ministers and their equivalents).
The report finds that despite differences among countries in terms of constitutional forms and
administrative traditions - even the extent to which the centre is led and staffed by political appointees
rather than career civil servants - there are strong similarities in the functions the centre performs.
Supporting the head of government and ministers to make good decisions by ensuring they receive
evidence-informed, co-ordinated and coherent advice is common to all, as is co-ordinating the various
actors in the policy process, and ensuring the quality and capability of the policy system. The centre also
typically acts as the guardian of overall strategic direction of government, translating political intent to
line departments and ensuring that agreed policies and programmes are implemented.
As policy challenges become more cross-cutting, the centre is increasingly called on to lead ] policy
processes. As such, the centre continues to transition towards a more pro-active, outward- « facing and
leadership role in the public administration and beyond. The report highlights areas i where weaknesses
have been identified or where international exchange of experiences could help build capability and
performance.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50.
Three in 10 adults said they personally owned a gun, while four in 10 say they live in a household
where someone owns a gun, according to a 2017 survey from Pew Research Center. On the whole, gun
owners are more likely to be White and male. They’re also more likely to live in rural areas and identify
as Republican.
About 48% of White men said they owned a gun, the Pew survey found. By contrast, 24% of White
women and 24% of non-White men said they owned a gun. Women of color reported the lowest rates of
gun ownership at 16%.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, there is a stark partisan divide in gun ownership. About 44% of adults who
identify as Republicans or lean Republicans said they owned a gun, while just 20% of those who identify
as Democrats or lean Democrats said they did, according to Pew.
Where a person lives also plays a role. The Pew survey found that 46% of those who lived in rural
areas said they owned a gun, while only 28% of suburbanites and 19% of city dwellers owned a gun. The
Northeast has the lowest rates of gun ownership at 16%, while roughly a third of people in the South,
Midwest and West reported personally owning a gun.
There are also some slight variations in gun ownership across educational levels. Those who have a
bachelor’s degree or higher are somewhat less likely to own a gun, compared to those who have a high
school diploma or only completed some colleges.
How a person is raised can also influence gun ownership. About 67% of gun owners said they grew
up in a gun-owning household, while only 40% of those who don’t own guns did, Pew ; researchers
report.
