c. Both a and b
d. Neither a nor b

ANSWER: Both a and b
 
Swiss voters rejected by a wide margin on June 5 a proposal to introduce a guaranteed basic income for everyone living in the wealthy country after an uneasy debate about the future of work at a time of increasing automation.
  • Supporters had said introducing a monthly income of 2,500 Swiss francs ($2,563) per adult and 625 francs per child under 18 no matter how much they work would promote human dignity and public service.
