Question

Select the correct answer.

What is a difference between a monarch and a dictator?
A. A monarch stays in power for life, while a dictator must be elected by the people.
B. A monarch can be voted out of office by citizens, while a dictator is leader for life.
C. A monarch is usually born into the position, while a dictator uses force to gain power.
D. A monarch is a symbolic leader without any power, while a dictator holds all the power.

Answer 1

D is the correct answer.

A is clearly wrong, as a dictator is inherently not elected by the people.

B is wrong because the monarchy can't be voted out (ex. the UK people can't vote Queen Elizabeth out)

C is wrong because dictators don't necessarily need to use force to gain power (ex. Kim Jong Un, who was born into the role of supreme leader in North Korea, and became dictator peacefully when his father died).
