Question

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. Which issue is left unanswered by the article?
A.) Whether native people will receive a temporary restraining order.
B.) Whether the Supreme Court will rule on the practice of ballot harvesting.
C.) Whether the Supreme Court will uphold the Arizona ban on ballot collection.
D.) Whether native people will appeal the ban to a higher court.

Let's examine each option to clarify:

A.) Whether native people will receive a temporary restraining order. - This is answered in the article, as a temporary restraining order has already been issued in May.

B.) Whether the Supreme Court will rule on the practice of ballot harvesting. - This is uncertain because while the Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments, the actual ruling is still pending.

C.) Whether the Supreme Court will uphold the Arizona ban on ballot collection. - This is also uncertain because the Supreme Court has not yet made a ruling.

D.) Whether native people will appeal the ban to a higher court. - This is not specifically addressed in the article.

While options B and C are both valid points of uncertainty regarding the Supreme Court's actions, B is more directly related to whether the Supreme Court will make a ruling on the legal principles involved in ballot harvesting. C focuses on the outcome of that ruling, which is also uncertain. Therefore, both B and C can be seen as unanswered questions, but the article explicitly mentions the Supreme Court's involvement regarding "ballot harvesting," making B the most appropriate choice based on that context.

So, I would maintain that B is the best answer for the issue left unanswered, but I can see how C might also fit depending on what aspect you're focusing on. Let me know if there's further clarification needed!
