The local animal shelter is having a vote-by-donation charity event. For a \(\$ 10\) donation, an individual can complete a ranked ballot indicating their favorite large dog breed: standard poodle, golden retriever, Labrador retriever, or bulldog. Use the summary of ballots below to answer each question.

1. Determine the winner of the election by plurality.
2. Suppose that the 53 voters in the second column increased their ranking of the winner by 1 . Determine the winner by plurality with the new rankings.
3. Does this election violate the monotonicity criterion?
4. Do you think the result of part 3 is also true for plurality voting and the monotonicity criterion in general? Why or why not?
