Answer 2

Answer: A. Voters are more likely to participate in a presidential election than in a primary.

This table shows the voter turnout in percentages in different states, for both the Republican primary and the general election.

Option A is correct because the percentages are higher for the general election than for the primary in every state.

Option B and Option D assumes that the numbers represented are number of people, instead of percentages. We have no way of knowing what the absolute number of voters is per state.

Option C concludes the opposite of what the data shows.
