Quote:
A majority of the electorate is singular as anything starting with 'A' is singular and it will take singular verb believes.
So eliminating B , D , We're left with A,C,E
Now, lives people at the national level doesn't make sense. This error is rectified in E which says National level directives have impact on people's lives
E is clear in meaning and grammatically correct.

OE :
A majority is singular, so the verb "to believe" must agree with that verb form. Additionally, there is an ambiguous modifier at the end of the sentence. "National level" refers to policy, not people; therefore, it must be placed next to "policy," the noun that it modifies.
