Questions: Which of the following is an example of a voter using heuristics to decide how to vote? "I voted for candidate A because I heard the candidates speak at a meet-the-candidates forum and was impressed by him." "I voted for candidate A because she has the most experience." "I don't know anything about the candidates for judge, but I decided to vote for Candidate A because she had been endorsed by several environmental organizations and I am a big supporter of protecting the environment. "I voted for Candidate A because he is from my home town."

The answer is "I don't know anything about the candidates for judge, but I decided to vote for Candidate A because she had been endorsed by several environmental organizations and I am a big supporter of protecting the environment."

This option suggests that the voter made a decision based on direct information and personal impression from a forum, which is not a heuristic but rather an informed decision-making process.

This option indicates that the voter is using the candidate's experience as a criterion for decision-making, which is a rational evaluation rather than a heuristic.

This option is an example of using heuristics. The voter relies on endorsements from environmental organizations as a shortcut to make a decision without having detailed knowledge about the candidates themselves. This is a common heuristic where endorsements serve as a cue for decision-making.

This option also represents a heuristic, as the voter is using the candidate's hometown as a simple rule of thumb to make a decision. However, the question asks for an example, and Option 3 is a more explicit illustration of using endorsements as a heuristic.
