Question

because of the dominance of the two - party system, ______ candidates often struggle to raise both funds and the visibility of their campaigns.
○ electoral
○ republican
○ democratic
○ third - party

Explanation:

In a two - party system (where two major parties like Republican and Democratic in the US are dominant), third - party candidates face challenges in raising funds and getting visibility for their campaigns. "Electoral" is a general term about elections, not specific to the struggle against two - party dominance. Republican and Democratic are the two major parties, so they don't struggle due to two - party dominance as they are part of it.

Answer:

D. third - party
