Given the preference orderings listed above, what would the result be of a pair-wise contest between the spending choices medical and tax cut?

Now assume that Councillor 3 has to take a family member to the emergency room and has a very poor experience with the level of medical care provided at the local hospital. This leads her to view improving medical care as a higher priority than improving education in the municipality, if money is to be spent improving any programs. Councillors 1 and 2 do not change their preference orderings. Thus, the councillors now have the following preference orderings over the spending choices: Councillor 1: Education, Medical, Tax cut Councillor 2: Medical, Tax cut, Education Councillor 3: Tax cut, Medical, Education Assume that the councillors hold a round-robin tournament that pits each alternative against every other alternative in a series of pair-wise votes. The winner is the alternative that wins the most contests. Based on this information, answer the following four questions. A. education B. medical C. tax cut D. It would be a tie.
