Explanation:

Question 2

To determine the method for understanding demographic changes in America done every ten years, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Public opinion polls are for gauging opinions, not demographic changes over a decade.
• Option b: IRS tax abstracts relate to taxes, not demographics.
• Option c: The Statistical Abstract is a compilation but not done every ten years specifically for demographics.
• Option d: Presidential election turnout is about voting, not demographics.
• Option e: The census is conducted every ten years to collect demographic data (population, age, race, etc.), making it the most valuable method for understanding demographic changes.

We define each voting - related term:

• Option a: "Party - line" is more about voting along party ideology in general, not the specific act of voting for one party on a ballot.
• Option b: A "straight - ticket" voter is one who votes exclusively for members of one party on a given ballot.
• Option c: "Single - issue" voters vote based on a single issue, not party affiliation.
• Option d: "Ticket - splitting" is voting for different parties on a ballot, the opposite of what's described.
• Option e: "Swing" voters change their vote between parties, not vote exclusively for one party.

We recall the concept of reapportionment:

• The House of Representatives has seats allocated based on population. After each census, the population data is used to reallocate seats in the House of Representatives to reflect population changes among states.
• The Senate has a fixed number of seats (2 per state) and does not undergo reapportionment based on census - related population changes.
• The president's cabinet and the Supreme Court are not related to reapportionment of seats based on census.

Answer:

e. census.
