Answer
- B To more closely follow public opinion
Explanation
USCIS gives the answer "To more closely follow public opinion": anyone who stands for election every two years has to follow the voters' mood closely. Representatives are elected directly by the people, not appointed by senators, and the House has important powers of its own, such as originating revenue bills.
