Explanation:

1. For the action "The political machine provided government services to many different communities", the effect is "Voters from those communities were motivated to re - elect political machine candidates." because providing services to communities would make voters in those communities more likely to support (re - elect) the political machine's candidates.
2. For the action "The political machine provided jobs to supporters", the effect is "Voters loyal to the machine were employed in local government." as providing jobs to supporters means those loyal supporters get jobs in local government.
3. For the action "The political machine often had a close relationship with the police", the effect is "Law enforcement sometimes overlooked illegal or corrupt actions of the political machine." because a close relationship with the police (law enforcement) would lead to the police overlooking the machine's illegal or corrupt actions.
