Which statement best describes the election of 2008?

Turnout was high in the 2008 election, and many voters felt the choice mattered because the country faced major decisions, including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and a serious financial crisis. This makes “voter turnout was high because Americans knew important decisions had to be made” the best description. The election was not a show of approval for the sitting government, as choice C suggests.
