Question

automatic voter registration schemes may have to win over a few skeptics before it becomes the law of the land. some opponents are concerned with the government telling citizens what to do; they portray this as an infringement on the right to free speech. but automatic registration doesn’t infringe upon the first amendment, as the choice to ‘opt out’ would remove inertia by removing any confusion and unnecessary steps. automatic voter registration provides a seamless and efficient transfer of information, while still offering citizens a choice. citizens can retain their first amendment rights and gain peace of mind knowing that a smarter system is in place. review the paragraph at the top of page 4. click or tap three underlined words or phrases whose connotation suggests the positive effects of automatic voter registration.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the connotations of words in the paragraph related to automatic voter registration's positive effects:

1. "Seamless": Implies smooth, no-hassle process (positive for efficiency).
2. "Efficient": Directly means effective and productive (positive effect).
3. "Peace of mind": Suggests citizens feel secure/relieved (positive outcome).
4. "Smoother system": Indicates improved, better-functioning process (positive).

These words (seamless, efficient, peace of mind, smoother system) connote positive impacts of automatic voter registration, as they highlight ease, security, and improved functionality.

(Note: Since the underlined words aren’t visible, we identify key terms with positive connotations from the text. If underlined words were provided, we’d match to these or similar positive - connoted terms like "seamless", "efficient", "peace of mind", "smoother system".)

If we assume an underlined word like "seamless" (or others above), its connotation shows positive effects (smooth, efficient process). Similarly, "efficient" emphasizes productivity, "peace of mind" shows citizen well - being, and "smoother system" shows improved infrastructure.

Answer:

Words like "seamless", "efficient", "peace of mind", or "smoother system" (depending on underlining) have connotations suggesting positive effects of automatic voter registration. For example, if "seamless" is underlined: Seamless (connotes a smooth, hassle - free transfer of information, a positive effect of automatic voter registration).
