Answer 1

The correct response is:

D While the president is directly elected by the people in several Latin American nations, in Canada, the prime minister is selected by other elected officials within the government.

In Canada, the prime minister is not directly elected; instead, they are typically the leader of the political party that wins the most seats in the House of Commons during a federal election. The people vote for their local Member of Parliament (MP), and the party with the most seats usually forms the government, with its leader becoming the prime minister. In contrast, many Latin American countries have presidents who are directly elected by the citizens.
