Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since Opryland is closed, the options for the first vote are now between Grand Canyon and Sea World. According to the preferences of the family members, Grand Canyon is the first choice of three out of six members, while Sea World is the first choice of the other three. Therefore, it is likely that the vote will be split evenly. In case of a tie, Mr. Johnson's proposal of majority rule will result in Grand Canyon being chosen over Sea World.

For the second vote, the options are now between Grand Canyon (the winner of the first vote) and Disneyland. According to the preferences of the family members, four out of six members rank Disneyland higher than the Grand Canyon. Therefore, it is likely that Disneyland will be chosen over the Grand Canyon.

Therefore, the best choice is C, which predicts that the winner of the first vote will be Grand Canyon, and the winner of the second vote will be Disneyland.
