Consider the following preference table.

(a) Who wins the election if the plurality with elimination method is used? 

(b) Assume that in a second election the eight voters who voted for B, C, A, in that order, all change their preference to C, B, A, in that order. If the plurality with elimination method is used, is the monotonicity criterion satisfied? 

(c) Using the preference table from part (a), assume that B drops out. Does the plurality with elimination method satisfy the irrelevant alternatives criterion?
