Which term describes a system or organization for exercising authority over a body of people?

• A. Bias
• B. Government
• C. Political Office
• D. Evaluate

Answer: (B)

Organizing authority and decision-making in a society is the idea here. A government is the system or organization that has the power to govern a community, state, or country, making laws, enforcing rules, and providing public services. It holds legitimate authority over the people within its jurisdiction. Bias is a personal preference or prejudice and does not denote an organized system of governance. Political office is a position within the government, not the overall system itself. Evaluate means to judge or assess something, not to govern.
