Explanation:

Question 45

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: U.S. President is elected for 4-year terms, Missouri Governor is elected for 4-year terms (not 6), so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Missouri Governor is elected by popular vote, not electoral college (U.S. President is elected by electoral college), so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Both are part of the executive branch (President at federal level, Governor at state level), legislative branch is Congress/state legislature, so this is incorrect.
• Option 4: U.S. President is head of federal executive branch, Missouri Governor is head of state executive branch, so this is correct.

• Recall Missouri Senate qualifications:
• Qualifications include being at least 30 years old (not 25), being a resident of the senatorial district for at least 1 year (not 5), and the other options are qualifications. So the non - qualifications are "Be at least 25 years old by the time of the election" and "Be a resident of the senatorial district they are chosen to represent for at least 5 years before the election".

Answer:

D. both are part of the executive branch
