What was one effect of this election system?
A. Voters in states with late elections knew the results of early elections.
B. Farmers were often unable to get to their polling place in time to vote.
C. The people who voted first could decide the outcome of most elections.
D. People spent less time in church because they would often travel to vote on Sundays.
Answer:
A. Voters in states with late elections knew the results of early elections.
Explanation:
To complete this exercise, you have to <u>select the correct option</u> that answers the question.
The<u> correct option is A </u>because the text explains that the states that voted later than the others knew the results of the early elections and that used to affect the elections because the last voters could decide the results.
D. "Neither my friends nor my family cares about me," said Finlay.
In this sentence there are two subjects, "friends" and "family". Since the conjunction "neither...nor" is used, the subject-verb agreement gets a little tricky. If both subjects were singular, as in he or she, the verb must agree with a singular subject. This is because it is either one or the other not both. In this sentence, one subject is plural, friends, and one subject is singular, family. Family is considered a collective noun, so even though there are many people in the family, there is only one family. Since family is closest to the verb and it is singular, "to care" must be in the singular form. Option B and C are wrong because the verbs "were" and "are" are plural verbs.
