Answer 1

The statement that best explains a way that the bureaucracy stays independent is:

"Those who work in the bureaucracy are civil servants."

Civil servants are typically appointed based on expertise and qualifications rather than elected, which helps maintain a level of independence from political pressures. The other statements either incorrectly describe the nature of bureaucracy (like being elected or up for re-election) or suggest a lack of influence that does not necessarily relate to independence.
