Correct: 1, 3 and 4. Not correct: 2.
Brief explanations:
- It has drastically reduced the need for traditional advertising: True in the sense that online tools (social media, targeted digital ads, email, grassroots fundraising) have lowered costs and reduced reliance on expensive mass-media buys, though traditional advertising (TV, radio, mail) is still used.
- It has increased foreign participation in elections: False as stated — the Internet has made it easier for foreign actors to try to interfere or influence elections (disinformation, hacking), but it has not legitimately increased foreign citizens’ participation in voting.
- It has increased competition between candidates: True — lower barriers to entry, cheaper outreach, and new fundraising/organizing tools have let more candidates run and compete more intensely.
- It has enabled immediate communication between candidates and supporters: True — social platforms, email, livestreams and messaging allow real-time direct contact and rapid mobilization.
