submit response

Explanation:

To determine the speaker's opinion on term limits, we analyze each option:

• Option A ("They are only needed for the presidency") is incorrect as it focuses only on the presidency, and there's no indication the speaker holds this view.
• Option B ("They are necessary and should be implemented by public pressure") suggests term limits are needed, but we're looking for the speaker's likely opinion, and this doesn't align with the reasoning of elections as term limits.
• Option C ("They would make Congress more corrupt") is a negative view of term limits' impact, but there's no basis to assume the speaker thinks this.
• Option D ("They are unnecessary because elections already serve as term limits") is a common argument against term limits, as elections allow voters to choose to re - elect or not, acting as a form of term limit. This is the most logical choice for summarizing a speaker's opinion against term limits.

Answer:

D. They are unnecessary because elections already serve as term limits
