Select the cоrrect meаning fоr the bоlded words in the аrticle. The options mаy be pluralized. “Political Polls” Many people are closely following the political polls during the final weeks preceding this important election. But how do these polls actually work? Polls are surveys of a relatively small number of people compared to the actual number who will vote. They are an attempt to determine who may actually win an election in advance of the final vote. Let’s say that one hundred million people are expected to vote in the general election. If one hundred people are asked for their opinions, each respondent represents a million voters. Obviously, the results of such a poll are not very reliable. The more people surveyed, the more meaningful are the results. Pollsters have various ways of making their polls more accurate. They try to find a representative variety of people to question. For example, they look for people with similar backgrounds and from similar regions to those of all the voters. Pollsters also ask questions that try to determine how many people who support each candidate will actually vote. If a candidate has a higher percentage of enthusiastic supporters than his opponent, he has a better chance of winning than the simple numbers might suggest. Pollsters may only count those who they consider to be “likely voters.” If we look at polls that are taken over time, we can often detect a trend. We can tell if a candidate is gaining or losing support when we compare the most recent poll to earlier ones. Polls often ask potential (those who could be) voters what they like or dislike about each candidate.The campaigns use those results to help them decide which issues to stress or which positions to clarify. They can also determine which voters to target with their messages. Because no two people are the same, polls can never be perfect predictors of the real vote. But they can give important clues as to where things may be heading. At the very least, if you like politics, polls can be great entertainment.

On December 20, before the ink cartridges were shipped, the wholesaler called the office supply store and told the store owner that because of a shortage of materials, the price that the wholesaler had to pay for the ink cartridges had increased significantly. The wholesaler said that if he delivered the ink cartridges at a price of $1,000, he would lose a great deal of money.
