The term "bread and circuses" (in Latin, "panem et circenses") referred to the practice of providing free bread and entertainment for the poor in order to keep them satisfied and distracted from political and social issues. It was a method used by Roman emperors to maintain control over the populace and prevent unrest. So the correct response is:
free bread and entertainment for the poor.
