Read the brief text and then select the best answer.
National parties in the United States have generally been weak in structure and
wary of ideology. Many writers have said that American parties are the least
centralized in the world. However, the argument that parties have not represented
significant differences in policy can be pushed too far. For example, in this century,
at least, the Republicans have been more committed than the Democrats to a
market-oriented economy, while the Democrats have been more prepared to use
government to address economic problems. Within both parties there has been wide
variance on issues but in general the Republicans have been the more conservative
and the Democrats the more liberal.
Both parties, however, have resisted reducing these tendencies in their social,
economic, and moral belief systems to a rigid ideology. And neither, until recently,
vested much authority in its national party structure.
At state and local levels, on the other hand, party organizations often achieved impressive
levels of solidarity and internal discipline. Both Democrats and Republicans maintained
potent local political organizations in many cities and states.
Whatever their merits or demerits, the traditional organizations went into steep
decline during the 1950's and 1960's. The Old organizations lost the ability to
maintain internal discipline The share of voters regarding themselves as political
independents, that is, people not affiliated with either of the major parties, rose.
There were several reasons for the loss of effectiveness of the major party
organizations. Development of a welfare state administered by the federal
government established some of the services that had formerly been dispensed by
the organizations as political favors. As recent immigrants became more educated
they were less dependent on party workers. The inclusion of more state employees
under civil service protection dried up some of the old wells of patronage. Growing
unionization of public employees after 1960 struck an even more serious blow at
the patronage system. Television brought candidates into voters' living rooms,
thereby antiquating some of the communication and education functions of party
workers. Most of all, perhaps, the old tribal differences associated with the parties
began to seem irrelevant to members of generations that sought fresh identities.
Q. 185 What does the passage mainly discuss?
(a) American political parties in the twentieth century
(b) The role of ideology in American politics
(c) The future direction of United States politics
(d) Differences between Republicans and Democrats
Q. 186 According to the passage, what is true of the major political parties in the United
States?
(a) They are both generally conservative
(b) Party organizations have been stronger at the state level than at the national level
(c) Party organizations have increased their influence in recent years
(d) Democrats have been stronger than Republicans at the national level

(a) increased numbers of immigrants
