Explanation:

• For question 4: Political parties aim to structure government operations to implement their policies and ideologies. Selecting judicial officers is often a more independent - or at least a more complex - process not the primary focus. Reducing voter turnout is not a positive or primary focus. Enforcing laws is mainly the job of the executive - related law - enforcement agencies.
• For question 5: Proportional Representation is a system where parties receive seats in proportion to the votes they get, which is an alternative to the winner - takes - all system where the candidate or party with the most votes wins everything.
• For question 6: Voter mobilization efforts are designed to encourage eligible voters to participate in the electoral process. Reducing voter turnout is the opposite goal. Creating new laws and influencing judicial decisions are not the main goals of voter mobilization.

Answer:

1. b. Structuring government operations
