Which word describes something involving two political parties?

• A. Anecdote
• B. Cunning
• C. Bipartisan
• D. Tenacity

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is vocabulary for describing collaboration across political parties. The term that best fits is one that means involving both major parties: bipartisan. It comes from bi- meaning two and partisan referring to political parties, so a bipartisan effort is something supported or conducted by members of two parties, often aiming for broad, cross-party agreement.

In politics, you’ll hear about bipartisan bills or bipartisan support, which indicates that lawmakers from more than one party back the measure. The other words don’t convey this sense of cross-party involvement: an anecdote is just a short personal story, cunning refers to sly cleverness, and tenacity means strong persistence.
