Question 6 • RIDDLE-FL-2103300-World Cultural Geography B IEP EDIT 25/26

Which of the following situations is the best example of corruption in government?

Answer
A
A judge is bribed and dismisses the charges against a murderer.
B
Only members of the Communist party are allowed to vote in Cuba.
C
The Brazilian legislature allows a company to build a factory in the Amazon Rainforest.
D
The president of a country fires his assistant, who was caught stealing.

Explanation

Corruption occurs when a government official abuses their position for an improper benefit. In choice A, a judge accepts a bribe and uses the power of the court to dismiss serious charges, making it the clearest example of government corruption. The other choices describe a restriction on voting, a decision about land use, and firing an employee for stealing—not a bribed official abusing power.
