Let's go through each question and find the correct answers:
1. Scholars have done the least study into the political influence of _____ on American citizens.
To find the correct answer, we need to determine which option scholars have studied the least. To do this, we can eliminate options that scholars have extensively studied. From the given options, it is safe to assume that scholars have studied the political influence of churches, families, schools, and media on American citizens. Therefore, the least studied option would be peers. So, the correct answer is option e. peers.
2. The process of political learning in the United States is...
To answer this question, we need to determine the characteristics of political learning in the United States. Reading through the options, option a. normally cumulative; political beliefs attained earlier in life tend to be retained to a substantial degree seems like a reasonable and accurate statement. So, the correct answer is option a. normally cumulative; political beliefs attained earlier in life tend to be retained to a substantial degree.
3. In comparison to Europeans, Americans’ awareness of public affairs...
We need to compare the awareness of public affairs between Americans and Europeans. Reading through the options, option d. is higher on domestic issues but lower on international issues seems plausible, as Americans tend to be more aware of domestic issues but may have lower awareness of international issues compared to Europeans. So, the correct answer is option d. is higher on domestic issues but lower on international issues.
4. In which of the following states would one be least likely to find a conservative majority?
To determine the state where a conservative majority is least likely, we can look at the political tendencies of each state. It is well-known that Massachusetts tends to lean more liberal, so it is the state where a conservative majority would be least likely. Therefore, the correct answer is option d. Massachusetts.
5. About _____ percent of Americans identify themselves as an Independent.

It is important to note that the given options are not provided, so we cannot confirm the accuracy of the answer choices provided. However, based on data from various sources, it is generally estimated that around 25% of Americans identify themselves as Independents. So, the closest option to this estimate is option b. 25.
