[简答题]Process Explanation
Process explanation is a description of an orderly process such as a math formula or a scientific technique. It often happens when someone encounters some difficulties in operating particular projects. There are two types of process explanation: directive explanation and informational explanation. Directive explanation is to directly demonstrate or tell people how to carry out a project step by step. Informational explanation means giving people a general idea about the project without presenting how to follow the instructions and finish the tasks accordingly.

Attempts to break up this old political system have been made in every presidential election in the past one hundred years, but the system has survived all assaults.
How does it happen that the system is so strongly rooted in American politics The explanation is probably to be found in the way elections are conducted. In the United States, unlike countries with a parliamentary system of government, we elect not only the President, but a large number of other officials. We also elect congressmen from single-member districts.
A. confine
B. migrate
C. control
