4 questions, written answer, each with a worked explanation.

Problem 1
Answer and explanation
Regulations, resources, and compliance affect implementation. A prohibition does not automatically alter buildings, procedures, or everyday access.
Problem 2
Answer and explanation
Earlier institutions, communities, and advocates had addressed environmental problems. Creating an agency changed administration but did not invent the underlying issue.
Problem 3
Answer and explanation
Health, access, reliability, and the distribution of benefits and burdens. A cheaper plan may shift costs to people outside the paying institution.
Problem 4
Answer and explanation
The inspection checks stated requirements; users can identify practical barriers or failures. Different sources reveal different aspects of implementation.
