Asked by Katana Yama
Use the geospatial representation of a hypothetical redistricting plan to answer the question.
An illustration shows an oval shape containing 6 squares labeled D and 8 squares labeled R. The squares are scattered randomly inside the oval. Two groups of squares are encircled. On the left side of the oval, 4 boxes labeled D and 3 boxes labeled R are circled together by a dotted line. On the right side of the oval, 2 boxes labeled D and 5 boxes labeled R are circled together by a solid line.

To complete the demographic data based on the provided information about the hypothetical redistricting plan, let's analyze the situation.
The oval is divided into two distinct areas:
1. **Left Side**: 4 squares labeled D (Democrat) and 3 squares labeled R (Republican). This implies a Democrat advantage in this area.
2. **Right Side**: 2 squares labeled D (Democrat) and 5 squares labeled R (Republican). This implies a Republican advantage in this area.
Now, let's break down the implications of these distributions:
- In total, there are **6 D** and **8 R** squares within the oval.
- When we look at the circled areas, we can observe the demographics:
- Left side has 4 D and 3 R (a majority of D).
- Right side has 2 D and 5 R (a majority of R).
The structure indicates that:
- The Republican-affiliated areas makeup a larger percentage of the overall districts even though the overall voter affiliation shows a rough parity (57% R vs 43% D).
Given this analysis, it’s most logical to conclude:
- The left side (4 D and 3 R) can make one district favoring Democrats.
- The right side (2 D and 5 R) can make one district favoring Republicans.
Thus, the demographic data to complete the table would be:
- **Number of Districts**: 2
- **Number of Republican Districts**: 1
- **Number of Democrat Districts**: 1
- **Effect on Congress**: Districts reflect the rough parity of party membership at the state level.
So, the correct choice from the options would be:
**1 Republican district; 1 Democrat district; Districts reflect the rough parity of party membership at the state level.**
