I'm assuming because this is under the history thread, it's dealing with the U.S. Senate. There are two main political parties in the U.S. which are Democratic and Republican- but there is also an Independent party, just not as big. Representatives are people who represent a certain party in, I believe, the Senate. So when it says "proportional", it's most likely referring to the fact there is an equal amount of representatives who are under the two big parties- the Democratic or Republican.
You didn't list choices, but the two possible answers would be:
<h2>Germany resumed unrestricted submarine warfare.</h2><h2>The Zimmermann Telegram revealed a German attempt to gain Mexico as an ally against the United States.</h2><h2 />
Context/detail:
Public outrage in the US against the Germans swept the nation following the sinking of the British ocean liner, Lusitania, which had happened in May, 1915. When a German U-boat (submarine) sank the Lusitania, over 1,000 persons were killed, including more than 100 Americans. The passenger liner was targeted by the Germans because they suspected weapons were being shipped to Britain in the cargo hold of the ship.
Germany managed to stave off American entry into the war at the time by pledging to stop submarine attacks. But two years later, the Germans resumed such attacks. This inflamed public opinion against Germany once again and poised America to go to war.
In addition, British intelligence intercepted and decoded a telegram (known as the "Zimmermann Telegram") that showed Germany was trying to secure Mexico as an ally against the United States. The revelation of this plan inflamed feelings in the United States. The telegram was sent in January, 1917. In March, 1917, German Foreign Secretary Arthur Zimmermann admitted the telegram was, in fact, sent by his office.
In April, 1917, the US declared war on Germany in response to the Germans' submarine warfare and the Zimmermann Telegram.
World War I, also known as the First World War, the Great War, or the War to End All Wars, was a global war originating in Europe that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918.

The best answer is, States with the largest populations send more representatives to the House.
Members elected to the House of Representatives, which is part of the U.S. Congress, are determined by their state and by the number of constituents in that state. Each state must have at least one elected member to the House of Representatives but can have much more like California, who sends 53 representatives to the nation's capital. This representative process differs from those elected to the Senate, the other half of the U.S. Congress, where each state elects two representatives regardless of population size.
