Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Answer 2

The presidential primary process has been criticized in the U.S. because it is thought that A. It gives undue weight to states early in the primary process.

The Presidential primary process:

• Allows certain states to vote early in the race
• Ensures that candidates that win these early primaries have momentum
• Leads to trailing candidates losing votes in other later states due to less momentum

When states vote early, they give momentum to certain candidates who usually go on to win the nationwide primaries. Critics say this is unfair as other states might have voted for other candidates if not for the early momentum.

In conclusion, critics of the primary process say that it gives undue weight to earlier states.
