"a. devote themselves to their country."

Explanation:

Frederick II of Prussia, was the third king of Prussia (1740-1786). Belonging to the House of Hohenzollern, son of Frederick William I and Sofia Dorotea of Hanover, he was one of the greatest representatives of enlightened despotism of the eighteenth century. He is known for his military victories and for his reorganization of the Prussian army, his tactics and innovative maneuvers, and for the success he gets in the Seven Years' War, despite his almost desperate situation, for what he is already known in his time as Frederick the Great.

Almost all German historians of the nineteenth century consider Frederick the Great as the romantic model of warrior who should be given glory, as he is praised for his leadership, his administrative efficiency, his devotion to the duty of government and his success in building a Prussia capable of taking a leading role in Europe. He remains an admired and historical figure after the defeat of the German Empire in World War I; Thus, Nazism glorifies him as the German leader who precedes the figure of Hitler. However, its reputation becomes much more unfavorable after the fall of the Nazi regime, both in East Germany and in the West.

polling is a process and the outcome is not involved in the process itself.

the outcome, which is an unfavorable rating for a particular candidate is not affected by the mechanical process of polling.

it rather depends on the number of people voting in favor of the candidate.

this is an outcome of people's preferences.
