The US House of Representatives has 435 members (it's the senate that has 100 members), so we only consider the options that mention this:
a) 435 members and is considered more likely to represent local constituent interests.
b) 435 members and is considered more stable and immune to passing popular whims.
The better answer is a) since the representatives represent their states - so they're more likely to represent their local interests to gain a favour with their voters.
Straw votes is a term to describe an unofficial ballot conducted as a test of opinion. However, straw votes are unreliable as they serve many disadvantages including a straw vote not often representing an accurate cross section of the total population.

Since Adam does not know the imported product, he chooses Bosh precisely because this company has a positive brand equity with him.
