Answer 1

The correct option is C Both statements 1 and 2 are true.

An election is a practice in which people elect their representatives for running the government. If the people are not satisfied with their current representatives, they can vote for other candidates to become their representatives in the next elections. In this way, elections are an indirect way to judge the performance of the current government.
