Picture Will Be Attached!

Participation in elections increases as education level increases across all age groups.
Education level was a significant factor in the outcome of the 2008 election.
Decreasing the drop-out rate among high school students will positively affect voting rates.
Increasing access to higher education will decrease citizens' participation in government.

Answer 1

I think the answer is C?

Answer 2

Those are the answer choices?

Answer 3

Focus on any column of data. What do you notice as you read down the column?

Answer 4

Voting rates?

Answer 5

What about them specifically?

Answer 6

I'm kind of confused.

Answer 7

As you move down any single column, are the values increasing? decreasing? or neither?

Answer 8

Decreasing?

Answer 9

Wait

Answer 10

no

Answer 11

Increasing

Answer 12

Increasing, yes

So as the education level goes up, so does voting participation. This applies to any age group. It doesn't necessarily indicate which party/candidate is favored the most (if any is at all), so it doesn't affect any outcome of an election. That will depend on other factors.

Answer 13

That makes sense. I pick D

Answer 14

I'll*

Answer 15

As the education level goes up, so does voting participation

Answer 25

The voting rate of individuals 18 to 24 years of age increases as the level of education increases.
The voting rate of high school graduates is only slightly better than that of high-school drop-outs.
The voting rate of individuals levels out once a college degree is attained regardless of age.
The voting rate is only slightly influenced by a person's level of education.

Answer 26

I think it is the first one, A

Answer 27

yeah its basically saying the same thing as before

Answer 28

Except now they're just focusing on the first column

Answer 29

Yeah.

Answer 30

So i picked A for that

Answer 31

My next question is

Answer 32

The two maps below show the results of the 2010 Gubernatorial Election between Rick Scott (R) and Alex Sink (D), and the 2008 Presidential Election between Barack Obama (D) and John McCain (R). Which of the following statements can you prove to be true using this map?

I will attach pics

The geographical distribution of party votes is similar in both elections.
The majority of Republican voters can be found in Central Florida.
The Democrats won the popular vote in both elections.
The number of registered Republicans in Florida increased between 2008 and 2010.

Answer 33

I think it is A?

Answer 34

Am I right with that?

Answer 35

Your teacher made a typo. It should be 2008 presidential election, not 2010 presidential election.

But based on those charts, it looks like the same party demographics are in the same locations (eg: Tampa is blue, Jacksonville is red)

Answer 36

Yh, thank you.

Answer 37

no problem

Answer 38

I have a few more.

Answer 39

Which statement best describes the message and the creator of this poster from the presidential election of 1952?

Image will be attached.


Candidate Stevenson created the poster to let America know that he has new and unique ideas for improving the country.
The Democratic Party created the poster, which implies that Democrats are wealthier than Republicans.
A government agency wants to show support for Stevenson by saying he will focus on safety more than other candidates.
An interest group representing labor feels that the election will be a choice between poverty and success for the country.

Answer 40

I think this is C. Am i right?

Answer 41

Incorrect. Look at what committee is backing him (it's given right underneath his name).

Answer 42

Labors committee?

Answer 43

yes, so that will direct you to the answer

Answer 44

D?

Answer 45

yes

Answer 46

Thank you once again.

Answer 47

no problem

Answer 48

A homeless man is accused of robbing a convenience store.

Which of the following should happen, and which cases(s) established this process?

The man should be informed of his right to an attorney (in re Gault) and to confront his accuser in court (Miranda v. Arizona).
The man should be informed of his rights (Miranda v. Arizona) and told his accuser's name (in re Gault).
The man should be informed of his rights (Miranda v. Arizona) and provided an attorney (Gideon v. Wainwright).
The man should receive official notice of charges (in re Gault) and be questioned with an attorney present (Miranda v. Arizona).

Answer 49

Is this C?

Answer 50

Brb i need to do something

Answer 51

I'm back.

Answer 52

C is correct. Miranda was arrested and wasn't read his rights, so that's what led to the Miranda Rights becoming an established saying that cops use: "You have a right to remain silent" etc etc.

As mentioned earlier, the re Gault case dealt with juveniles being treated the same as adults in terms of getting legal protection and due process. So this wouldn't apply in this case, assuming the homeless man is an adult. So that means we can rule out choice B.

Answer 53

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense.

Answer 54

Examples of the freedom of assembly include

a political leader holding a street rally; your friend drawing a “peace” sign
a political leader holding a street rally; a local organization sponsoring a parade
people signing a petition to repeal a law; a club sponsoring a parade
people signing a petition to repeal a law; a business advertising a sale

Answer 55

I think this is B... Am i right?

Answer 56

Brb

Answer 57

Yes anything involving gathering a group of people. Though you might have to get permits if there are a lot of people. Permits are useful in helping local governments get a heads up when a large crowd is gathering so they can plan for it in some fashion. This could include diverting traffic, or helping with public infrastructure.

Answer 58

Thank you!

Answer 59

A voter believes that the country should have universal health care for all, including the poor and unemployed, although others believe that this would hurt business because taxes would rise.

Which of the following is the best evidence that a Senate candidate's qualifications support this voter's concerns?

The candidate has made statements that his opponent only supports the wealthy and big business.
The candidate has voted for legislation that would make health care for the poor and middle class more accessible.
The candidate donates to charities that fund food drives and shelters for the poor in his home state.
The candidate has a medical degree and had his own practice before becoming a U.S. Representative.

Answer 60

Your thoughts?

Answer 61

I think it is B

Answer 62

Am I right?

Answer 63

Correct. Someone who voted for more accessible health care would probably be in favor of universal health coverage.

Answer 64

Thank you!

Answer 65

I have like three more questions

Answer 66

In a recent political ad, Senator Bob Smith stated, "My opponent, Joe Lye, is more interested in playing golf with special interest groups than voting on the issues. In fact, he was only present on 12 of 120 days during the last legislative session. Let's work together to eliminate this kind of waste from our government."

Which of the following is it most important for voters to do in evaluating these statements?

Check the facts about Smith's claims that Lye was absent.
Eliminate Lye from consideration during the election.
Ignore the information because the source is not trustworthy.
Review Smith's own attendance during the legislative session.

Answer 67

Is this C? Am I right?

Answer 68

Whenever someone makes a claim, you should check the facts. It doesn't matter who the speaker is. Though usually if the person has a history of lying, then more fact checks are needed.

Answer 69

Ohhh, So A?

Answer 70

@jimthompson5910 Are you there?

Answer 71

Choice A is correct

Answer 72

Ok, thanks!

Answer 73

Two U.S. Senators are guests on a TV news interview program. One is introduced as “Senator Susan Hartford, Conservative Leader,” and the other is introduced as “Senator Howard Williams, focus of an ongoing corruption investigation.”

These introductions indicate

bias in favor of Senator Williams
symbolism in favor of Senator WIlliams
bias in favor of Senator Hartford
symbolism in favor of Senator Hartford

Answer 74

I think this is C

Answer 75

Am I right with this?

Answer 76

Yes, Williams is being painted in a negative light. It doesn't matter if the allegations are true or not, it's a shady practice for the news program to do that.

Answer 77

Yeh, that makes sense.

Answer 78

Alright, last question.

Answer 79

Read the quotation below:

“Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.”—Former President George W. Bush 2001

President Bush uses propaganda to convince Americans to not have concerns about terrorism.
President Bush uses symbolism to reassure Americans that terrorism cannot destroy their country.
President Bush uses propaganda to convince Americans to take up weapons themselves to fight terrorism.
President Bush uses symbolism to express sadness and sympathy for the victims of terrorism.

Yes, thats true.
