Question

Which of the following describes one problem created by the ”spoils system”?

Select one:
a. The president could not choose supporters to fill government positions.
b. It allowed government officials to obtain lifetime appointments.
c. It allowed for more people to participate in government.
d. Sometimes efficient hard workers were replaced with inexperienced

Answer 1

The correct answer is d. The spoils system would sometimes replace efficient workers with inexperienced ones. 

Answer 2

I did the some research so the thing is that when a election is over and when the candidate wins the election any person who was supporting the candidate gets appointed to a government official. So I would say the answer would be option D "Sometimes efficient hard workers were replaced with inexperienced." Since how any person that supported the candidate would be appointed a government official. So, a supporter could and most likely would be inexperience and the hard worker who was in office would be replaced with a new.

Hope this helps!
