The correct answer to this open question is the following.
These are the correct steps of the policy-making process in the correct order.
1.- issue identification and agenda-setting.
2.- policy formulation.
3.- policy adoption.
4.- policy implementation and evaluation.
This can be translated into the following actions.
First, the government identifies a problem or issue that needs to be solved and includes this in the things the government has to consider.
Then, the government starts to establish priorities to pick what comes first and selects the kind of policy that has the best chance to successfully address the issue. That is when the experts create the specific policy and put it into effect. Finally, the government officials need to monitor and evaluate the efficacy of the policy to make a decision: to follow through, to adjust it, or make broad changes.
