Answer to Question 1

c

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1, Describe a critical election (or realigning election) as a turning point, as an election that signals a major switch in party coalitions, usually during periods of historic change in the economy and society.
2, Explain that long-term party realignment is the usual result when one party takes over from another during a period when partisan preferences shift. May note (if applicable) that electoral realignment is sometimes a gradual process, not sudden and dramatic.
