a. 1/3
b. 2/3
c. 3/4
d. 4/5

ANSWER: 2/3
 
Japanese PM Shinzo Abe seeking to allay concerns he would move from fixing a fragile economy to revising a pacifist constitution after the big election win, said that changing the charter would not be easy.
  • Abe’s coalition and allies won two-thirds of the seats in Parliament’s upper house in a Sunday election.
  • That victory, with the ruling bloc's two-thirds majority in the lower house, opens the door to revising the constitution for the first time since its adoption.
