Is it A
Right again! :-)
To determine the answer to this question, let's break it down:
a. does not realize the critical importance of the nominating process
This answer implies that a large segment of the electorate is unaware of how important the nominating process is. However, the question asks about the behavior of the electorate, not their awareness. So, this answer is not correct.
b. turns out to vote in primary elections
This answer suggests that a large segment of the electorate does vote in primary elections. If this is true, it means that people do understand the significance of primary elections and actively participate in them. So, this could be the correct answer.
c. understands the importance of primary elections
This answer directly states that the electorate understands the importance of primary elections. However, it does not provide any information about whether they actually participate in them. So, this answer alone is not sufficient to determine if it is correct.
d. goes to the polls to vote in primaries during off-year elections
This answer suggests that a large segment of the electorate votes in primaries during off-year elections. While this is a specific scenario, it does not provide enough information about their behavior in general or whether they understand the importance of primary elections. So, this answer is not correct.
Based on the analysis, the most likely correct answer is b. This implies that a large segment of the electorate turns out to vote in primary elections, indicating an understanding of their importance.
