Every __________ one-third of all Senate seats are up for election.

Answer
A
four years.
B
two years.

U.S. senators serve six-year terms, and their terms are staggered so that roughly one-third of the seats are contested at each election held every two years. Therefore, one-third of all Senate seats are up for election every two years. The correct choice is “two years.”
