Answer 1

Answer:

Wesley is upset that he is managed by someone he voted for. He is referring to the

b. sheriff.

Explanation:

His 10-month sentence is for a misdemeanor offence which can be served out in a jail and so, the valid options for a manager would be either a sheriff or a warden.

The reason why a sheriff is the correct option here is that it is said that Wesley voted for the manager.

Sheriffs are usually selected by popular vote unlike wardens who are usually appointed in larger state prisons.
