which characteristic belongs only in section 3 of the diagram?
○ can veto legislation
○ chosen by a direct election of the voters
○ chosen by the electoral college
○ negotiates treaties with foreign countries
clear all

Explanation:

To determine which characteristic belongs only in section 3 (Texas Chief Executive only), we analyze each option:

• "can veto legislation": Both U.S. (President) and Texas (Governor) can veto, so this is in section 2 (both), not 3.
• "chosen by a direct election of the voters": Texas Governor is elected directly by voters. The U.S. President is elected via Electoral College, so this is unique to Texas Chief Executive (section 3).
• "chosen by the Electoral College": This is for U.S. President (section 1), not Texas.
• "negotiates treaties with foreign countries": Only U.S. President (section 1) does this.

Answer:

chosen by a direct election of the voters
