You can answer all of the above questions by googling the qestions' key words in the questions. And you'll learn a lot by doing so.
If you don't understand the vocabulary (terms) used in the questions, you might have trouble. So, you might have to look up the word "efficacy," for example, by googling "efficacy" and "merriam," which will take you to the relevant entry at the Merriam Webster Dictionary.

2) A) True
3) A) True
4) A) True
5) A) True
6) A) True
1) The correct answer is B) False. Independents are people who do not have strong party affiliation. They do not align themselves with any specific political party and tend to vote based on specific issues or candidates rather than party loyalty.
2) The correct answer is B) False. About 55.3% of those eligible to vote actually voted in the 2000 presidential election, according to the United States Election Project.
3) The correct answer is A) True. In a democracy, the government is meant to be by the people and for the people. Voting is one important way for citizens to participate in the democratic process and have a say in how the government is run.
4) The correct answer is A) True. The "time-zone fallout" problem refers to the fact that polls on the Eastern seaboard often close earlier than polls in other parts of the country due to time zone differences. This can create a situation where early results from the eastern states influence voter behavior in later time zones, potentially affecting election outcomes.
5) The correct answer is A) True. "Ballot fatigue" is a phenomenon where voters lose patience or interest as they work their way down a long ballot, particularly in elections with many candidates or multiple issues to vote on. This can result in voters skipping or not fully completing the ballot.
6) The correct answer is A) True. People with a low sense of political efficacy, which refers to an individual's belief in their ability to influence politics and government, are less likely to vote. They may feel that their vote does not matter or that the political system is unresponsive to their concerns.
