Which country's executive leader is chosen by the legislature? A. South Africa
B. Kenya
C. Nigeria
D. Sudan

A because the government is always involved in such situation of selecting the right leader

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
