Answer 1

If the options are: A.Socialism, B.Liberalism, C.Anarchism, D.Conservatism, then the answer is D. Conservatism. I can see that some people have previously answered Anarchism. But it can't be the right answer because anarchism does not advocate either leftist or rightist politics - it advocates stateless politics. On the other hand, both left-wing and right-wing politics operate within the conventional field of states and governments. Now, communism is the extreme leftist position of egalitarianism, that is social equality, without private property. On the other hand, conservatism advocates social hierarchies and inequality as a natural order of society. Liberalism isn't the answer either because it isn't a rightist political option.

Answer 2

The correct answer is: The political spectrum spans from Communism on the extreme left to ANNARCHISM on the extreme right. I just took the test!
