Ardeth Is Utah Born and Bred, and Also a Devout

Ardeth is Utah born and bred, and also a devout Mormon, just like her parents and most of her friends.She works in the computer industry, has a moderate income, and, although now single, would like to be married and have children in the not-too-distant future.The 24-year-old also happens to be a snowboarder.She regularly goes to alternative and Christian rock concerts. Meanwhile, Melanie, a 53-year-old, strongly evangelical Christian woman from the Deep South, would seem to have little in common with Ardeth besides religious devotion.She works part time as a discount clerk for a retail store.She is not interested in outdoor activities and prefers watching television over listening to popular music.
Even so, could these voters share a partisan identity?

A) Absolutely.Their religious devotion and identity clearly show that they would more than likely both be Republicans.
B) Yes.Since one of the two is married and devoutly religious, while the other is religious and wants to be married, they are both most likely Republicans.
C) Almost certainly not, since Ardeth's computer industry work, age, and lifestyle choices suggest that she probably leans Democratic, despite her location and religion, while Melanie's age, marital status, and location suggest that she likely leans Republican.
D) Perhaps, but perhaps not, for while there are clearly relationships between party identification and various social criteria, none are decisive.
