Answer 1

A plank is more specific than the platform

Step-by-step explanation:

A political party has broad principles, goals, and strategies that guides them in achieving their set goals. This is called the platform.

The platform is broken down into planks that address a specific issue.

It reflects the opinions of individuals or the political party about a particular subject.

Metaphorically a platform is a large stage for the political party, while the planks that make up the stage are the smaller parts of the platform.

Planks are more specific than platforms.
