Answer:

The poisoned substance was mixed with arsenic-free zinc and sulfuric acid, resulting in arsine gas.

natta225 [31]

The correct answers are:

1) It sees all members of society as equal.

This is accomplished by government control of the means of production and important social services (like healthcare).
