OFFICIAL EXPLANATION QUESTION #2
The correct answers is $\(\mathbf{B}\)$.
The author clearly states that voter opinion polls help us identify what voters are thinking about issues. Choice A may seem correct because the author states that polls can be inaccurate, but the author doesn't explicitly state that polling can never predict the results of an election, and so this cannot be assumed. Choice C is incorrect because the author states that during the last week or two before an election, undecided voters make up their minds, but doesn't imply that polls help them make up their minds. Choice $D$ is true in that the author states this, but this is not his thesis in the passage. Choice E is incorrect because the unpredictability of polls is neither stated nor implied.
