Which two states are generally considered to be the most important in the presidential nominating process?
  1. New York and California
  2. Texas and California
  3. Illinois and Texas
  4. Illinois and California
  5. Iowa and New Hampshire
Explanation
Answer: E - Iowa and New Hampshire, being the first two contests, are generally considered to be the most important states in the presidential nominating process. After losing in these states, several candidates will drop out, leaving only a few front-runners. So, if a candidate can’t do well in Iowa or New Hampshire, she likely won’t be able to become president.
