Can someone please re-phrase the question stem?

I struggled with thinking the question stem meant that the correct answer Cannot Be True of the Conservatives statement, instead of the socialists. What other ways can you re-phrase it?

Hi @Motunrayo-Bamgbose-Martins,

Thanks for the question! So this question stem is basically asking us the following: what is it that the conservative could believe that would make what the socialist says clash with what the conservative believes? So basically, we’re looking for something in the answer choices that would conflict with what the socialist says; that’s all there is to it. What does the socialist disagree with, if the conservative believes it? Which, quite simply, can be boiled down to “what does the socialist disagree with?”

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask any other questions that you might have.
