Question

in states with automatic voter registration, voters are automatically registered to vote when they apply for or renew their driver’s license at the department of motor vehicles (dmv) or when they interact with other state agencies. all of their important information, such as name, address, birth date, and signature, is shared with the state’s election agency. all eligible voters are then placed on the voter rolls unless they actively decline by “opting out.” in states without this arrangement, a person is given the choice to register at the dmv already; the change in policy simply means it would happen automatically going forward. which statement explains the relationship that the second paragraph of the passage, on page 2, has with the third paragraph, on page 3? the second paragraph explains in greater detail the process that is referred to in the third paragraph. the second paragraph provides a summary of the process suggested in the third paragraph. the second paragraph introduces the counterargument of the third paragraph. the second paragraph provides the basis for the response to the counterargument of the third paragraph.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the relationship between the two paragraphs. The second paragraph describes the automatic voter registration process (how voters are registered when interacting with DMV or other agencies, and the "opting out" option). The third paragraph likely refers to a process related to this, and the second paragraph gives more detailed steps of that process. Let's check each option:

• Option 1: The second paragraph explains the automatic registration process (when applying/renewing license, info sharing, being placed on rolls unless opting out, and the change from non - automatic to automatic). If the third paragraph refers to this process, the second is detailing it. This makes sense.
• Option 2: The second paragraph is not a summary but a detailed explanation of the process, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: The second paragraph is about the process, not a counterargument, so this is wrong.
• Option 4: The second paragraph is about the process, not a basis for responding to a counterargument, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

The second paragraph explains in greater detail the process that is referred to in the third paragraph.
