Ms sue is just trying to throw you off when she says the answer is A

the correct answer is c, presidents often rely on political strategists and unoffical advisory groups more than their cabinet.

man this was 2 years ago,,,,

OK. Then C is right.

What excerpt?

Your answer is wrong.

my next best answer is C

What does the excerpt say?

no president has ever suggested eliminating the cabinet. however several presidents have learned on other unofficial advisory groups and sometimes depended upon them more heavily than on the cabinet.

To determine which generalization about the role of the cabinet is supported by the given excerpt, we need to analyze the information provided. However, you did not provide the excerpt in your question. In order to find the answer, let's walk through the process of elimination using the given choices:

A. The first choice suggests that presidents rely on their cabinet for advice because they had selected the members. Without the excerpt, it is difficult to determine whether this is supported or not.

B. The second choice states that qualified candidates for cabinet positions are in ever-shorter supply. Again, without the excerpt, it is challenging to determine whether this statement is supported.

C. The third choice implies that presidents often rely on political strategists and unofficial advisory groups more than their cabinet. This statement is not supported by the information you have provided.

D. The final choice suggests that although the cabinet's influence is waning, it remains because the constitution explicitly requires it. This statement aligns with the idea that the cabinet's influence is diminishing but still exists due to constitutional requirements.

Based on the given options, it seems that choice D is the most suitable answer. However, to provide a definitive answer, we would need to review the excerpt in question.

The answer is A
