The question wording is Citizens Count’s. The “aligned answer” column is the answer a DSA-aligned candidate would give, taken from the plank named beside it. Anything Robert "Bob" Jones wrote under an answer is quoted in full, unedited. On one question the sentence Robert "Bob" Jones wrote under the box settles the answer differently from the box itself, and the score goes with what they wrote, not the box. Those rows show both, and say why.
