When comparing and contrasting an ancient government with the current US government I would recommend looking at the government of Ancient Athens, since Athens had a democracy like the US, except theirs was a "direct democracy," instead of a "representative" democracy--which would make this a good comparison point.
My dad said the answer is A.
"People had <span>more negative feelings toward the Republican Party" would be the best option since their refusal to pass a budget led the government to shut down, which greatly hurt their reputation among Americans.</span>
