I'm not sure if you made a typo or not but in the current context I can only see negligible being relevant.
Left Panel
I don't know how to eliminate all the choices, but the answer for this question is E.
A is incorrect. Out of 10000 cases making an appeal to the Supreme court, only 80 are hear.
B: Sometimes a case is heard if only 1 justice wants to hear it because the case is in the realm of his specialty. So B is not true.
C: C is one of those possibilities that is possible that might be true. Actually the cases presented to the court go through a pool of clerks who decide whether or not to pass it on.
D: For the same reason that B is not the answer, I don't think this one is either. The court has in recent history had an odd number of justices. I don't think the chief justice has any more votes than any of the others. The vote rarely is 4 to 4 close, especially recently.
Middle Panel
The answer to this is D to make and pass laws that apply to the state. I'll explain this better in the comments when I'm at home.
Right Panel
I think the closest answer is A. I'll put this one in the comments as well.
The Compromise of 1877, also known as the "Corrupt Bargain" or the "Great Betrayal" marked the end of Reconstruction in the South and a return to "Home Rule". The Compromise of 1877 was reached to settle the disputed 1876 U.S. Presidential election.
