Question

downsides of the delegate model include ______. multiple choice difficulty responding to desires of constituents due to lack of communication representative that will follow instincts even if it contrasts with what the district wants representative being less likely to host town halls removal of representative from individuals in the district

Explanation:

In the delegate model, representatives are supposed to act strictly on the wishes of their constituents. Lack of communication can lead to difficulty in understanding and responding to those wishes. The other options are more related to other models of representation. For example, following instincts contrary to district - wishes is more of a problem in the trustee model. Hosting town - halls is not a defining downside of the delegate model, and removal of representative from district individuals is not a typical issue in this model.

Answer:

A. difficulty responding to desires of constituents due to lack of communication
