Question

questions 18 through 20 refer to the following. relationship between party and views on policy priorities percent who say ___ is a top priority for trump and congress 18 mark for review which of the following is a possible limitation depicted by the data presented in the chart? a the chart does not show many differences between the parties on public policy issues. b the chart does not account for the segments of the population that identify as independents. c the chart does not take into account those who are not registered to vote. d the chart surveyed respondents during january 5 - 9, 2018.

Explanation:

When analyzing data on party - related policy priorities, if only Democrats/Learn Democrats and Republicans/Learn Republicans are considered (as in the chart), it ignores the significant portion of the population that identifies as independents. This is a common limitation in binary - party data analysis. Option A is incorrect because the chart does show differences (e.g., on climate change, with 68% of Democrats/Learn Democrats vs 18% of Republicans/Learn Republicans considering it a top priority). Option C is not relevant as the chart is about policy priorities among those who have an opinion (not about voter registration). Option D, the survey date (January 5 - 9, 2018), is not a limitation shown in the data content (the data is about policy priorities by party, not about the time - sensitivity of the survey in a way that affects the party - policy relationship depicted).

Answer:

B. The chart does not account for the segments of the population that identify as independents.
