Is the first one wrong?

Thanks so much for your help!

To answer the question on how the numbers of electors for each state are decided, you need to refer to the United States Constitution. The correct answer is 3.) Each state gets as many electors as it has senators. This is because the number of electors each state has is equal to its total number of senators and representatives in Congress.

For the question on factors that reinforce America's two-party system, the correct answer is 4.) Single-member districts. Single-member districts refer to the electoral system where each constituency elects only one representative to a legislative body. This system tends to favor the two major parties and makes it harder for third parties to gain popularity.

Regarding the question on which state has the largest number of electors, the correct answer is 2.) California. California currently has the largest population among all the states, and as a result, it has the highest number of electors.

As for how congressional districts are drawn, the answer is 1.) By population. Congressional districts are redrawn every ten years after the census to ensure that each district has roughly the same population. This process is known as redistricting or gerrymandering, and it is done by state governments according to specific rules and guidelines determined at the state level. The goal is to create districts that represent an equal number of people to ensure fair representation.
