- 2. Senatorial courtesy: a sense of collegiality among senators
- 3. Filibustering: manipulation of a constituency for political gain
- 4. Gerrymandering: delaying tactics by Senate members
A1, 2, 3 and 4
B1, 2 and 4
C1 and 2 ✓ Correct
D2 and 3
Correct answer: (C) 1 and 2 — Pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1 and 2.
Explanation
★Pairs 1 and 2 are correctly matched, so the answer is 1 and 2.
★Logrolling is the exchange of favours and vote-trading among legislators.
★Senatorial courtesy is the collegial deference senators show one another, especially on appointments.
★Pair 3 is wrong, because filibustering means delaying tactics, such as endless speeches in the Senate.
★Pair 4 is wrong, because gerrymandering means manipulating constituency boundaries for political gain.
★So the meanings of filibustering and gerrymandering have been swapped.
★There is no time limit on a senator's speech, which makes the filibuster possible.
