Use the demographic and geospatial representation of gerrymandering to answer the question.

An illustration shows an oval shape containing 4 squares labeled B and 11 squares labeled W. The boxes are scattered randomly inside the oval. Two groups of squares are encircled. On the left side of the oval, 3 boxes labeled W and 3 boxes labeled B are circled together by a dotted line. On the right side of the oval, 8 boxes labeled W and 1 box labeled B are circled together by a solid line.
