Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

Incumbents claim that their election five years ago authorizes permanent tenure. They propose replacing the next election with an officers-only open show of hands and require opposition candidates to obtain management approval. Which is best?
  1. The proposal conflicts with periodic direct secret-ballot election and the statutory candidacy safeguard
  2. Prior election establishes lifetime office
  3. Officers alone may always choose their successors
  4. Management approval is the principal statutory qualification
  5. An open officers-only vote necessarily satisfies direct secret ballot
