Question

\voting access for native americans\ by candice norwood
legal teams representing native people fought in court against a montana law that restricted ballot collection. in may, a judge issued a temporary restraining order to prevent the law from being enforced, and in late september a state court struck down the law.
the u.s. supreme court is expected to hear arguments for another ballot collection case to determine whether to overturn an arizona law that bans ballot collection, which the state refers to as ballot harvesting. in january, a federal appeals court upheld a lower court decision to strike down the law, but the ballot collection ban will remain in effect until the supreme court ruling. no date for the hearing has been disclosed by the court.
use the excerpt from the \how the pandemic has complicated voting access for millions of native americans\ article to answer the question.
which issue is left unanswered by the article?
(1 point)
○ whether native people will receive a temporary restraining order.
○ whether native people will appeal the ban to a higher court.
○ whether the supreme court will rule on the practice of ballot harvesting.
○ whether the supreme court will uphold the arizona ban on ballot collection.

Explanation:

• For the first option: The article says a judge issued a temporary restraining order, so we know the outcome here, so this is answered.
• For the second option: The article doesn't mention anything about whether native people will appeal the ban to a higher court. There's no information related to their appeal plans.
• For the third option: The article states the Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments to determine whether to overturn the Arizona law (about ballot harvesting), so the question of whether they will rule on the practice is implied as part of that process (since hearing arguments is related to ruling), so this is addressed.
• For the fourth option: The article says the Supreme Court will hear arguments to determine whether to overturn the Arizona ban, so the question of whether they will uphold it is part of that consideration (overturning or not upholding, or upholding), so this is at least partially addressed as the court is considering it.

Answer:

B. Whether native people will appeal the ban to a higher court
