Question

below are political campaign posters for two candidates who are running for governor.
two campaign posters: one blue for sam cooper, one red for leslie knope, with their qualifications listed
according to the information in the posters, which of the following choices best explains why one candidate could be considered more qualified than the other?
a. leslie is more qualified than sam because she has a business degree.
b. being a lawyer is a requirement for serving as governor, so sam is a better candidate than leslie.
c. leslie’s experience as deputy of parks and recreation makes her a stronger candidate than sam.
d. sam is more qualified than leslie because he has more experience in government.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A business degree alone doesn't necessarily make Leslie more qualified for governor compared to Sam's government experience. Eliminate A.
• Option B: There's no indication that being a lawyer is a requirement for governor. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Sam has more extensive government - related experience (ten years law, four years as mayor, three years as commissioner) than Leslie's one year as Deputy Director. So Leslie's Parks and Recreation experience doesn't make her stronger. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Sam has ten years of law experience, four years as mayor, and three years as commissioner. Leslie has one year as Deputy Director and a business degree. Sam's total years in government - related roles (10 + 4+ 3 = 17 years of relevant experience) is more than Leslie's one - year experience. So Sam has more government experience, making him more qualified.

Answer:

D. Sam is more qualified than Leslie because he has more experience in government.
