For #26, it is passage V on the electoral college. My question is what does the following sentence mean (lines 31-37): The Bush v Gore election demonstrated the futility of attempting to count individual votes beyond a reasonable degree of certainty. Many statisticians found that the commonly reported and scrutinized lead in popular votes in Florida (choose your own candidate for this) was smaller than the reasonable degree of uncertainty associated with any large attempt at counting votes in these elections." I just need someone to translate this sentence.

And for #31, how can it be choice C? The passage clearly states "But the bulk of their compensation comes in the form of "royalty" payments." The word "bulk" = majority, therefore the sentence can be translated as: Most of an author's payments come from royalty payments.

#33 - same reasoning as above. How can it not be choice A?
