Question

Read this passage:most people i know — even the ones who care about the issues — don't know the positions of every single candidate on the ballot. as a republican, though, i do feel like the republican candidates are likely to reflect a lot of my beliefs. even if i haven't researched all of their views, their party gives me a general idea of what they support.which role of political parties does the passage most clearly illustrate?

Answer 1

A. Helping boaters make decisions by simplifying your choices

Answer 2

The passage illustrates that even if someone doesn’t know the exact position of the candidate about some subject, the person can have an idea because of their political party.

As a Republican a candidate defends conservatism - free market, free enterprise, business, strong national defense, deregulation, and other subjects, on the other hand, a Democrat probably will defend modern liberalism - social and economic equality, the welfare state, support for labor unions, social programs, and others.
