During a given legislative session, Committee X gives higher priority to bills as the level of each of several factors increases: public interest in the bill; its contentiousness; its scale; the uncertainty about it; and the ongoing relevant research. In a recent session, Committee X reviewed exactly three bills: A, B, and C. All had the same level of public interest. Bill A had the highest level of contentiousness; Bill B had the highest level of uncertainty; Bills A and B had the same levels of scale and ongoing relevant research; and Bill C had the lowest levels of contentiousness, scale, uncertainty, and ongoing relevant research.
During the legislative session, Committee X gave Bill A the highest priority.
It would help explain the priority given to Bill A if it were true that Committee X gave a higher priority for the level of 1 than it did for the level of 2 .
Select for (1) and (2) the terms that would, if inserted in the sentence, create the most accurate statement based on the information provided. Make only two selections, one in each column.

The answer to this question is very straightforward. As mentioned in the prompt Bill A had the highest level of contentiousness and Bill B had the highest level of uncertainty. So, it's very clear why Bill A was prioritized over other bills. The answer to the first one is contentiousness and the second one is uncertainty.

1. We are asked to help explain over what factors made Committee X choose bill A.
2. Let's look at highest levels for each factor:
3. There is almost no question about why the Committee chose bill A over C.
4. Let's compare bills A and B then. They are equal everywhere except in Contentiousness and Uncertainty. Here it depends what Committee X gave higher priority to. Since bill A was chosen, Contentiousness probably had higher priority than Uncertainty.
5. Our answer will be: (1) - Contentiousness and (2) - Uncertainty.
2. Let's look at highest levels for each factor:
| Public interest | Contentiousness | Scale | Uncertainty | Ongoing relevant research |
| A, B, C | A | A, B | B | A, B |
3. There is almost no question about why the Committee chose bill A over C.
