Germany: they were able to hold their trench and kill British forces in once of the bloodiest days in war history.
Britain planned to quickly go "over the top" of their trench and take the German trench. However, Germany's defense was much stronger than anticipated leading to high levels of British death. Over 57,000 causalities occurred just on this one day of fighting. <span />
The answer is <u>D. Elections are often decided by only a few voters.</u>
This is the best answer because this argument set the basis to explain the importance of every person's vote in a democratic government. Although one's vote might seem like it doesn't make a difference, it actually does, the election results are made of all the persons who relied on the voting system to express their political preference and make a difference. This is true especially in elections when candidates are strong because the elections tend to be decided by only a small difference (a few voters),
Besides, option A is incorrect because voting doesn't aim to symbolize an act, but to choose a leader who will express him/her ideology through the creation of policies that will determine a country's present and future.
Voting isn't less important than other types of civic engagement, it's equally important, if not more.
And voting is not mandatory by law, is a right guaranteed in the constitution that we all have as citizens, but it's not necessarily mandatory.
