Answer 1

Answer:

A. As a child, he showed no interest in politics and didn't run for office until he was in his 40s.

Explanation:

Lyndon Baines Johnson (Stonewall, Texas, August 27, 1908-ibid., January 22, 1973), known by his initials, LBJ, was the thirty-sixth President of the United States, who took office after the death of his predecessor John F. Kennedy in 1963 and he held until 1969.

Of modest origins, Johnson began his political career in 1937, when he was elected to the House of Representatives by the state of Texas as a member of the Democratic Party; then he was elected senator in 1949 and quickly climbed positions to assume as head of the Democratic bloc of the Senate in 1953, a position he would occupy until his election as Vice President. Kennedy incorporated him into his presidential candidacy as vice president because of his parliamentary experience and his southern origins; so that, after the electoral victory of 1960, he became vice president in 1961.
