By placing "state leaders" in quotation marks, the speaker is indicating his/her displeasure with the decision to consider overturning the law that forbids the sale of lottery tickets on Sundays. The other options do not work as a correct answer. First, in option A, there are no first person pronouns. Option C states that giving the reason behind the bill shows the speaker's anger - it does not. It merely gives additional information as to why they would overturn the bill. The comparison of the lottery to gambling is not factual evidence.
