whom is a u.s. senator elected to represent?
a the residents of several states
b the residents of a single state
c the residents of washington, d.c.
d the residents of a single congressional district

Explanation:

To determine whom a U.S. Senator is elected to represent, we recall U.S. political structure: Each state has 2 Senators, and they represent all residents of their single state. Option A is incorrect (Senators don’t represent multiple states). Option C is incorrect (Washington, D.C. has no full - fledged Senators with the same representation as states; its delegate has limited power). Option D is incorrect (House of Representatives members represent congressional districts, not Senators). So the correct option is the one stating the residents of a single state.

Answer:

B. the residents of a single state
