Answer 1

Answer:

D. The country suffers from severe economic problems.

Explanation:

When a country is in crisis like the current global pamdemic, ravaging the whole world, and the people perceive that the government is not doing enough to curtail or stop the spread, the ruling party will not get the support of the people thus lose control of the national government possibly in next election.

Also, when there is severe economic problem like 2007-2009 economic recession, where most companies were forced to shut down hence a great deal of people lost their jobs.

As a result of these job losses, people would begin to accuse the government in power as the cause of the economic problem. If the government is being controlled by a party, it would begin to lose support of voters hence might not be able to be re-elected in subsequent elections.
