John is in the third grade, he tells his teacher that he is a republican. What

is the most likely reason for him to identify with that one

party? Answer

The teachers in his school are

probably republicans.

His parents are probably

republicans.

He probably sees republicans on

television.

His state governor is probably a

republican.

His parents are probably republicans

Use the elimination process.

Well, if the teachers in his school are republican, does it mean he is?

Nope.

If his parents are republicans, does it mean he is?

Most likely.

Just because he sees them on T. V., does it mean he is one?

Nope.

His state governor is a republican. But that doesn't mean he is one, right?

Nope. He may be a democratic.

So, #2 is the answer.
