Answer
Brief Explanations:
To solve this, we analyze the political systems:
- Country X has a single political party controlling the government and an executive leader appointed by party officials, which matches Cuba's political system (single - party state).
- Country Y has citizens choosing between multiple political parties in elections and an executive leader elected by citizens, which matches Mexico's political system (multi - party, democratic elections). So we check the options:
- Option A: Country X as Cuba and Country Y as Brazil. Brazil is also a multi - party democracy, but Mexico is a better match for the described Country Y system in terms of the executive leader being elected by citizens in a multi - party context. So A is incorrect.
- Option B: Country X as Mexico and Country Y as Cuba. Mexico is a multi - party democracy, not a single - party state, so B is incorrect.
- Option C: Country X as Cuba (single - party, appointed executive) and Country Y as Mexico (multi - party, elected executive) matches the descriptions.
- Option D: Country X as Mexico and Country Y as Brazil. Mexico is not a single - party state, so D is incorrect.
Answer:
C. Country X is Cuba, and Country Y is Mexico.
