Explanation:

First Question (Conservatives' Favor Except)

Conservatives typically support strict crime punishments, low taxes, right - to - life (anti - abortion) stances, and increased military spending. Affirmative action, which focuses on addressing historical inequalities through preferential treatment, is more in line with liberal or progressive ideologies, and conservatives generally oppose it.

The gender gap in politics refers to the difference in political attitudes and voting behavior between men and women. The fact that women are more likely to support Democratic candidates than men is a classic example of the gender gap. Affirmative action is about equal opportunity, reverse discrimination is a criticism of affirmative action, the feminine mystique is about women's roles in society, and liberal bias is about media or ideological slant, none of which match this concept.

In the U.S., the three main types of elections are primary elections (to select party candidates), general elections (to elect office - holders), and elections on specific policy questions (like initiatives and referendums). Options a, b, c, and d include incorrect categories like competitive/non - competitive (which are not main election types) or made - up terms like ancillary, corollary, secondary, tertiary elections.

Answer:

b. affirmative action
