Answer 1

Correct answer: "There are hundreds of thousands of elections at local, state, and national levels in the U.S."

Explanation: The U.S. holds many elections at all levels (local, county, state, and federal) each year — far more than the other statements imply. The other choices are false: states commonly elect other executives (attorney general, secretary of state, etc.), many local governments do have elected officials (mayors, councils, school boards), and there are far more than 7,000 elected offices nationwide.
