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 provides a summary of the process suggested in the third paragraph. the second paragraph provides the basis for the response to the counterargument of the third paragraph. the second paragraph introduces the counterargument of the third paragraph. the second paragraph explains in greater detail the process that is referred to in the third paragraph.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the relationship between the two paragraphs. The second paragraph (on page 2) describes the automatic voter registration process (how it works with DMV, sharing info, opting out, and policy change). The third paragraph (implied) likely refers to a process or topic related to this.

• Option 1: The second paragraph is not a summary of a process in the third (it explains a process itself, not summarizing another's process). Eliminate.
• Option 2: There's no indication the third paragraph is a counterargument, nor that the second provides a basis for responding to one. Eliminate.
• Option 3: The second paragraph explains a policy, not introduce a counterargument for the third. Eliminate.
• Option 4: The second paragraph details the automatic voter registration process. If the third paragraph refers to this process (e.g., its impact, related aspects), the second explains the process in detail that the third refers to. This fits.

Answer:

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