Question

There is a new country called Tiderce where the people's political opinions lead them to divide themselves into five different groups, representing different outlooks on how the legislature should approach public policy. These five groups based on political convictions in turn result in the formation of five political parties (each named after an animal mascot). The five parties are listed below in order from most liberal to most conservative. In the first election for the legislature in this country the people vote for their candidates and/or their parties as follows, with the vote in the whole country being the same as the vote in every part of it:_______.
Lion 20%
Tiger 24%
Bear 13%
Antelope 18%
Gazelle 25%
Which could result in the Gazelle Party’s having exactly 75% of the seats in the legislature?
Proportional representation
single member districts and majority winners
single member districts and plurality winners

Answer 1

Answer:

"Lion and Tiger" is the right choice.

Explanation:

• Two sides are joining together in an alliance. Around each other, Lion as well as Tiger have 20 + 24 = 44% elections. Therefore no political party forms the above large percentage throughout the sequential manner.
• Only within chronology will parties join hands, as they are listed in order from some of the more progressive to many of the conservative, and therefore only platforms based on the common ideologies can show solidarity.

Lion and Gazelle, for instance, will not join an alliance because their philosophies remain contrary.
