  2. B2 onlyCorrect
  3. CBoth 1 and 2
  4. Dneither 1 nor 2

Explanation

The correct answer is B because of the following reasons: Statement 1 is incorrect because the Democratic Party, not the Republican Party, won the majority in the House of Representatives during the 2006 midterm elections. This ended twelve years of Republican control. Statement 2 is correct because Bobby Jindal, representing Louisianas 1st congressional district, was re elected to his seat in 2006. Having first been elected in 2004, his victory in 2006 marked his second consecutive win for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.
