Read the following passage:

"Everyone has seen animation of a surprised T. rex staring up into the sky at the fiery comet bringing doom upon its kind. Earth scientists love this dramatic image too, but many aren’t convinced this is really what killed the dinosaurs. In fact, there are at least three potential causes for their extinction: asteroid impact, erupting volcanoes, and sea level change.

"The dinosaurs did disappear right after a large asteroid slammed into Earth. The impact threw massive amounts of rock and steam into the air, possibly enough to block out the sun for months or years and plunge the planet into icy darkness.

"At almost exactly the same time, huge volcanoes erupted in what is now India. Rivers of lava poured out, some more than a mile deep. This activity could have injected enough dust and gas into the atmosphere to disrupt plant growth worldwide.

"If all that wasn’t drastic enough, there was also a simultaneous large drop in sea level. The shape and size of the oceans have a big influence on weather patterns. The shrinking of the seas would have caused climatic and environmental chaos."

Every four years, millions of people head to the polls on Election Day to vote for a new president. It is their right and duty as U.S. citizens to do so. In the months before the election, they watch the candidates argue about important issues. They read articles about the candidates' promises. They see ads that draw attention to the candidates' strengths and weaknesses. Armed with this knowledge and their own beliefs, citizens choose the candidate whom they believe will lead our country in the right direction. Or do they? 2In the United States, the people do not directly pick the president. Rather, our country gives this important power to the Electoral College. The Electoral College is a body of electors selected by the people in each state to officially choose the next president. How does the Electoral College work? On Election Day, voters take part in the popular vote. They press a button or pull a lever to vote for a presidential candidate. What they actually do, however, is pick the electors who will become members of the Electoral College. These electors pledge to vote for the chosen candidate in another election held in mid-December. 3The number of members each state has in the Electoral College depends on its population. A state with a large population has more votes than a state with a small population. For example, California has 55 votes while Alaska has 3. In most states, the candidate who wins the popular vote wins all of that state’s electoral votes. A candidate must receive a majority of the electoral votes to become the next president. How many electoral votes is enough to win? In recent elections, candidates have had to earn at least 270 of the 538 electoral votes to win. 4In theory, this system should work, and it has worked—most of the time. A few times, however, the system has failed. In these cases, the candidate with fewer popular votes gained enough electoral votes to win the election. This occurred during the 2000 presidential election when more people voted for Al Gore, but George W. Bush earned more electoral votes and became the president. What causes such a breakdown in the system to happen? Let's return to the example of California and Alaska. A single vote in California has the power to override thousands of votes in other states. Imagine that only one person in California casts a vote for Candidate A. That candidate wins the popular vote in California 1–0. He or she gets all of California's 55 electoral votes. Across the country, thousands of voters in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, and Delaware cast their votes for Candidate B. Not one voter casts a vote for Candidate A. These states have a combined 52 electoral votes, which is not enough to beat California's 55. How can the leaders of our country believe that this system is fair? 5A long time ago, Americans were scattered far and wide about the country. It made sense to have representatives who voted for them. In this day and age, however, polling places are practically in the next room for most people. With the use of computers, it is possible to tally votes quickly and accurately. The need for the "middle man" is gone. U.S. citizens are perfectly capable of choosing the person they want for president without interference. It is time to graduate from the Electoral College and let the people decide. You want your vote to matter, don't you?

Examining the tone and word choice reveals that the author
A) opposes the Electoral College.
B) misrepresents the Electoral College.
C) sympathetic to the Electoral College.
D) does not understand the Electoral College.
