Multiple choice

Directions: Answer the given question based on the following passage:

The voters today are so far removed from contact with their elected representatives; the issues dealt with are so technical, that even well-educated middle-class citizens feel hopelessly excluded from the goal-setting process. Because of the generalized acceleration of life, so much happens so fast between elections that the politician grows increasingly less accountable to the 'folks back home'. What's more, these folks back home keep changing. In theory, the voter unhappy with the performance of his representative can vote against him the next time around. In practice, millions find even this impossible as mass mobility removes them from the district, sometimes disenfranchising them altogether.

What message does the passage convey?

  1. That there is far too much mobility in life

  2. That it is impossible to take the elected representatives to task

  3. That even a well-educated middle-class citizen is not part of goal-setting process

  4. That because of the acceleration of life, an individual voter loses interest in his elected representative

  5. That the present day politicians have become less and less accountable to their electors
