Which term describes persons who do not hold extreme political views?

• A. Electoral College
• B. Moderates
• C. Platform
• D. Political Action Committee

Answer: (B)

Moderates are people who do not hold extreme political views. They sit in the middle between the ends of the spectrum and tend to favor pragmatic, compromise-oriented approaches rather than rigid ideological positions. This means they often evaluate issues on their merits, support incremental or gradual changes, and are more open to cross-party collaboration.

The other terms refer to things rather than people: an Electoral College is the system that formally elects the president; a Platform is a political party’s official set of positions; a Political Action Committee is an organization that collects and spends money to influence elections.
