Question

Which is the BEST description of the difference between primary and general elections?

Answer 1

Answer:The correct answer is C) Primary elections are held within a party to choose the party’s nominee and a general election allows voters to make the final choice from among the party nominees. It is a democratic way to pre-select the nominee from a party who eventually will be presented in a determined electoral process such as a general election.

Explanation:

Though, this election is held among people of a determined jurisdiction, could not necessarily be the geographically limit of a state, could be a region, therefore, B) is not correct, also all the parties (even the communist) have accepted the model of primary elections since 1948, for that A) is incorrect.

The primary elections are meant to select not only nominees from a party for president, they elect also candidates for representatives, senators, mayors and governors, among others, then D) is also incorrect.
