Question

In politics, a political party acts as a ‘bonding agent’ to ensure the good performance of its candidates and elected officeholders. Use the quotation to answer the question. 1. How do parties typically ensure the good performance of their candidates? (1 point)
A.) They dictate how their candidate governs once he or she is in office.
B.) They make sure their candidates are of good character and are qualified for public office.
C.)They petition to have a representative removed from office if he or she does not follow the party line.
D.)They revoke a representative’s campaign contributions if he or she supports issues the party does not.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. The political party "approves" and assumes a "watchdog" function over its candidates indeed (like answer B says), but all the other 3 choices are quite extreme and manipulative methods, to adapt in case of grave transgression or records' blemishes.
