darryqx · Answer

My answer choices are:
a. appointment to quasi-governmental bureaucracies
b. direct trade-offs for votes
c. granting constructing contracts to campaign contributors
d. printing and office supplies

darryqx · Answer

I know it is either A or B. My text book only vaguely speaks about direct trade-offs for votes, and although it speaks about appointment, it does not speak exactly about appointment to quasi-governmental bureaucracies. So, I am leaning more towards B.

darryqx · Answer

I seemed to be A because B was not correct and as I might have mentioned before, C and D are not correct either.
