Answer
Candidate B is selected as the winner using the Borda count method.
Work Step by Step
With the Borda count method, each candidate receives 1 point for each last place vote, 2 points for each second-to-last-place vote, and so on. The candidate with the most points is declared the winner.
We can find the total points for each candidate.
Candidate A:
4(40) + 3(0) + 2(0) + 1(30 + 6 + 2) = 198 points
Candidate B:
4(30) + 3(40 + 2) + 2(6) + 1(0) = 258 points
Candidate C:
4(6) + 3(30) + 2(40 + 2) + 1(0) = 198 points
Candidate D:
4(2) + 3(6) + 2(30) + 1(40) = 126 points
Since Candidate B received the most points, Candidate B is selected as the winner using the Borda count method.
