Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B She might have visited India.
C The country has a multi-party system.

One-party system or single-party system is a political framework wherein a single party is allowed to form and run the government. Thus, the activities of the opposition may be completely out lawed. Such a system exists in China.

Two-party system is a political system in which only two major political parties dominate voting in all elections in every level of government. Such a system exists in USA and UK.

Multi-party system is found in India. Here, multiple political parties across the political spectrum are allowed to contest elections. They tend to be more common in countries with parliamentary form of government. A multi-party system affords citizens the opportunity to have as many choices as possible. It also allows for increased political participation by the masses.
