Raegan Mason · Answer 1

Wasted government money

Explanation:

The sentence "wasted government money" is the one that fits the best in the blank box.

The reason is that it is the only sentence with a negative meaning, and the sentence itself is giving a negative opinion about the political machines from the beginning.

All the other senteces have a positive connotation, and because of that, would not fit in the blank space.
