Answer:

a)  The act forced federal employees to pass competitive exams.                                                

Explanation:

The Pendleton Civil Service Act is an act of the federal government which was passed by 47th Congress of the United States. According to this act in order to serve in the government as a government official or in a civil service, people have to give competitive examinations to be appointed as a government employee rather than having ties with some politicians.

Also these employees cannot be terminated or demoted from their post due to some political reasons.

Hence the correct option is (a).

Why do you think that presidents in recent years have given vice presidents more responsibilities? Give two reasons and explain
lbvjy [14]
The Vice president in my opinion is almost a second president. The vice president's main use in this century is to replace the president in a dire emergency. This is why we almost never see the VP and President together. The president is only one man and it is almost impossible for him to do everything that is needed in the time that he is alloted in office. This is why the VP has many other duties, to help and support his partner.
