Question

In the below cartoon, which statement most accurately represents the phrase “He makes votes for me”

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Some politicians are corrupt and influence immigrants’ votes.

Explanation:

In the political cartoon created by Gillam, the title of the poster is "The Immigrant. Is he an acquisition or a detriment?" And the image shows an immigrant, with his belongings, coming into America being 'welcomed' by the different 'individuals' of America.

With the different personalities 'displaying' their expectation or use of this new immigrant, the cartoon reveals the different 'aspects' of what an immigrant is useful for. And for the politician holding the phrase "he makes votes for me", we can infer that the immigrant is a source of his votes that he will get after manipulation and influence.

This shows that some politicians are corrupt and goes to great lengths to get votes, even influencing immigrants for their votes.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
