Gerrymandering definition:


Gerrymandering is the practice of setting boundaries of electoral districts to favor specific political interests within legislative bodies, often resulting in districts with convoluted, winding boundaries rather than compact areas. Gerrymandering in the United States has been used as early as 1788 to increase the power of a political party; the term "gerrymandering" was coined on review of Massachusetts's redistricting maps of 1812 set by Governor Elbridge Gerry, so named for its resemblance to a salamander.

Answer:

Gerrymandering is when a political group tries to change a voting district to create a result that helps them or hurts the group who is against them. Gerrymandering works by wasting votes.

The excerpt below is from a speech about starting a debate club at a high school. Which of the choices best describes the figura
12345 [234]

The word sharpen is a word that leads you to believe you are talking about knives. It has nothing to do with knives.

A: implies the same thing. It just isn't so.

B: dull is also a term that is associated with knives. In this case, it is factually false (you want to "sharpen" something, not make it dull) and it is not to be associated with a knife. Don't choose B.

Sharpen your brain means that you become more agile in your thinking. None of the choices really says that. So you have to pick something that is the "best" choice of 4 very poor ones. I suppose C is the answer, but I'm holding my nose as I tell you this. (C as an answer stinks).

D is 1/2 true but you have to associate it with thinking.  I don't think there is a really good answer, but of those there, I would pick C.
