MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Americans should exercise their right to vote. Many of our predecessors fought and died to earn the right to vote, and we disrespect their legacy by not voting due to apathy or forgetfulness.

C

D

Answer explanation

Choice A emphasizes the responsibility of citizens in a representative democracy to vote, aligning with the argument that participation honors those who fought for voting rights. The other options do not support this core message.
