What is the purpose of a primary election?

To choose which party will run the government
To elect the president directly
To choose the candidates from each party for the general election
To decide on public policies

The correct answer is: To choose the candidates from each party for the general election

A primary election is an important step in the election process where members of a political party choose their preferred candidate for a particular office. This helps narrow down the field of candidates before the general election. Option A is incorrect because primary elections do not determine which party will run the government, as that is decided in the general election. Option B is incorrect because primary elections do not directly elect the president, as the final decision is made by the Electoral College. Option D is incorrect because primary elections are focused on selecting a party's candidate, not deciding on public policies. Therefore, option C is the most accurate choice.
