To answer the first question, the statement is asking about the belief of pluralists regarding the dominant player in American politics. To get the answer, we need to understand what pluralists believe. Pluralists believe that power in American politics is dispersed among various interest groups rather than being concentrated in one dominant entity.
Therefore, the correct answer would be "groups" because pluralists believe that these interest groups play a significant role in shaping American politics.
To answer the second question, we need to identify the statement that is NOT generally true of Americans compared to Europeans. Let's analyze each option:
1. They volunteer more time to their community - This statement suggests that Americans volunteer more time than Europeans, which is generally true.
2. They express greater trust in the power of government - This statement suggests that Americans have greater trust in government compared to Europeans, which is generally true.
3. They express greater confidence in their institutions - This statement suggests that Americans have greater confidence in their institutions compared to Europeans, which is generally true.
4. They have a stronger sense of civic duty and civic competence - This statement suggests that Americans have a stronger sense of civic duty and civic competence compared to Europeans, which is generally true.
5. They donate more financially to their communities - This statement suggests that Americans donate more financially than Europeans to their communities, which is generally true.
By analyzing each option, we can see that all of them are generally true of Americans compared to Europeans. Thus, the correct answer would be "none of the above."
Lastly, to answer the third question, we need to understand the significance of political knowledge according to Michael Delli Carpini and Scott Keeter. They argue that political knowledge is important because it fosters civic virtues, helps citizens identify policies that would benefit them, and promotes active participation in politics.
Therefore, the correct answer would be "all of the above" because political knowledge serves all these purposes mentioned by Delli Carpini and Keeter.
