If state media shows only the ruling party's achievements and ignores other parties, what effect will it have on voters?

Correct answer: They will not be able to compare all choices in a balanced way

Correct answer: A, voters will not be able to compare all choices in a balanced way. Democratic choice depends not only on the act of voting but also on a fair opportunity to learn about competing parties and their ideas. If state media repeatedly praises the ruling party while hiding or ignoring other parties, citizens receive incomplete and one-sided information. They may then judge alternatives without hearing their policies, achievements, or criticisms. A is correct because balanced comparison becomes difficult. B is wrong because biased information reduces, rather than increases, the quality of independent choice. C is wrong because media coverage does not directly make vote counting accurate. D is wrong because a voter list is an administrative record and does not automatically change through media coverage. Memory cue: one-sided information produces one-sided choice.
