actual question from the test in my social welfare class

I was looking at the test statistics and noticed something interesting on this test question:

Despite widespread distaste for the word _________________, virtually all public functions are handled by this type of organization.

Correct		Percent Answered
	President	0%
	Bureaucracy	91.304%
	Republican	8.696%
	Economy	0%

haha, 9% of my students answered that there was widespread distaste for the word republican!
