They believe poor people don’t really want help
B
They believe welfare is morally wrong
C
The believe that citizens should try to rely more on themselves instead of on the government
D
The believe the government doesn’t have enough money to pay for it
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Conservatives took heart from Beveridge’s insistence that the Welfare State should not be a dependency state and tried to make it into more of an ‘opportunity state’. For example, if people started up their own private pension scheme they rewarded them with tax breaks.

Detailed explanation-2: -Social conservatives are concerned with the moral education and possibly age-inappropriate information children receive from sex education classes in public schools. They prefer abstinence-only sex education for its compatibility with traditional Christian ethics regarding chastity and the sanctity of marriage.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Conservatives generally opposed the idea of change in the eighteenth century. By the nineteenth century, however, they accepted that change was inevitable. They believed that the past had to be respected and that change had to be brought about through a slow process.

Detailed explanation-4: -The government does a variety of works for the welfare of its citizens: It makes decisions and gets things done. It builds roads and schools. It takes decisions about how to reduce the price of essential goods when they get too expensive or ways to increase the supply of electricity.
