Question

Speaker 1: overall, i agree with the democratic party's goals. if the democrats can get control of congress, we'll be able to make some real change.speaker 2: i'm a longtime republican, but i feel like the party is changing and leaving me behind. and the democratic platform doesn't speak to the issues i'm concerned about.speaker 3: i'm a member of a third party that really addresses the issues i care about most. none of our candidates have been elected to office, but they're saying the right things.speaker 4: i think that most politicians don't really care about what average citizens want. the only system that works is direct democracy in small countries.which speaker is most likely to feel represented in the u.s. government?

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is speaker 1

Explanation: Speaker 2 is undecisive about parties and doesn't feel they represent his or her concerns. Speaker 3 talks about a third party but is is a utopia because it was never elected. Speaker 4 has issues with politicians.

Answer 2

Answer: Speaker 1

In this example, speaker 2 does not feel represented by any of the major parties of the United States. Speaker 3, on the other hand, does identify with a party platform, but has no real representation because the party has no elected officials. Speaker 4 does not feel represented by any party, or by the political system of the country. Speaker 1, however, does identify with a party that has elected officials in power. He has hope of gaining even more power, but he is also the most likely person to feel represented by the current political situation.
