Strangely enough the correct answer here would be actually D as the voting ballots before the 1890s were in fact printed by the political parties themselves. Today the printing of ballots is a very serious business and there are strict regulations and control mechanisms in place in order to stop voter fraud which unfortunately is a big issue.

I'm sorry, what text? Could you post the passage please?
Answer:
A and D.
Explanation:
The Congress of Vienna was an international meeting held in Vienna aimed to restore peace and structure in Europe. The meeting was held from November 1814 to June 1815. The Great Powers (Great Britain, Russia, Prussia, and Austria) came together to plan for the postwar world. After the end of Napoleon war, the Great Powers started making decisions on how to restore the power and monarchy that were overthrown by Napoleon.
The two statements that describes the effect of the Congress of Vienna are A and D.
France's political power was weakened by the Great Powers. France had to return the territories that it gained during Napoleon war.
Another aim of the Congress of Vienna was to bring balance of power. Balance of power is a political theory according to which military support were distributed as such that no state becomes stronger than other. In case if one state becomes stronger and threaten other countries then those weak nations were given power to unite against the stronger one.
So, the correct answer is option A and D.
From the given list, we can single out the following actions which turned sports into a national pastime:
- Americans attended games;
- They followed teams in the newspaper;
- They read about teams in magazine reports;
- They listened to games on the radio.
In fact, this period (1920s) was called The Golden Age of American Sports or in some books it is called the Age of the Spectator. In many ways, this sudden raise of popularity of sports was due to the stable economy of the USA during that decade. Workers happened to have more leisure time and they had decent earnings. Thus, they could afford to pay money for entertaintment and various sports competitions.
Kipling, like many individuals in his generation, viewed colonialism as a positive force. Kipling believed that it was a facilitator of civilization, it provided important moral and educational benefits and was the responsibility of more advanced nations to bestow on less advanced nations.
