Who would be correct if you read the sentence and fill in the blank
Let's solve this through process of elimination. We know the first part isn't a question, because there are no words to indicate that. Answer choice D is out. Answer choice B doesn't make much sense either, because it doesn't show any end quotation mark to finish off a statement. Answer choice C, a comma, can not fit into this either, because there would have to be an "and" or something similar after the word "town". The only choice left is answer choice A. "The manager will be out of town; he won't be back until Monday."
Answer: The contrast and contradiction in "Why We're Running for Office" are that the teens who are postulating for senate, said that they will not stop being normal teenagers.
Explanation: In "Why Were Running for Office" It is stated that a group of teenagers will postulate for senate in the real elections. Throughout the article, it is described how powerful and serious their proposals are, however; at the end of the article, the teenagers claim that they will not stop doing teenage activities, such as hanging out with friends, etc. The reader doesn't expect that contrast and contradiction since they are being serious about their campaign, just like adults do.
