Those who believe judges should be free from the pressures of public support. a. want judges to be dependent on the other government branches. b. expect judges to focus on the will of the people in judicial review. c. expect judges to run for election rather than seek appointments. d. favor the appointment of judges to their positions over elections

The question assumes that some people believe that the judges should be professional and only consider the letter of the law, and not the will of the people. This means that they cannot be elected - if they were, they would seek favours of their voters.

What has to happen is that they should be appointed (answer is D) - this way they can focus on their work (which is interpreting the laws) and not feel the pressure to do what the people want them to do
