Correct answer:  B. Apportionment of members in the House of Representatives.

Explanation:

There are 435 members  in the House of Representatives in Congress.  That number has been set at that level since 1929.  The number of representatives per state is adjusted after each census, which is conducted every 10 years.  The US Constitution (Article 1, Section 2), says:  "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union."


Additional detail:

The number of electoral votes each state has in the Electoral College (for presidential elections) is also determined by the federal census.  Electoral College votes are aligned with the size of a state's overall Congressional representation, so the number of electoral votes each state gets (of the 538 total electoral votes) is recalculated every ten years, based on the most recent US Census data.

Answer:

He is experiencing puberty.

Explanation:

In simple words, puberty refers to the phase in which boys and girls become sexually mature. It usually starts around age 12 to 14 (although it can occur a few years sooner) and also implies physical changes.

Among other things, boys develop a higher production of testosterone, the principal male sex hormone. That would explain why James is experiencing these changes while reading the story.
