Accepted Answer

Bonjour Ian,
Thank for your answer, Maarten ! Indeed, it is rather difficult to add all possible answers to one sentence. Don't be too harsh on marking yourself, Ian, as most of what you wrote is correct.
I would say that your translations (1-3-4-5) are more than fine although for 'translation 4', as Maarten aptly pointed out, 'cumuler des mandats' is THE expression of choice, in France. 
For 'translation2', personally, using 'ça' with 's'agir' makes me cringe ;-).  It is very very (and again) very familiar. It sounds strange to my ears and I would not do it as I always teach the expression with 'il'.

Il s'agit d'un article de journal = it is a newspaper article
Il s'agit du musée du Louvre = it is about the Louvre Museum
C'est de cela dont il s'agit = that is what this is about

I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée!

Answer

Hi Ian, just done this exercise myself, so for what it's worth as I'm not a moderator or anything:

2) looks a bit informal. Ca (ça) is more for spoken french and the recommended inversion of s'agit-il is again more formal and perhaps appropriate for this sort of text.

4) works but 'le cumul des mandats' is a big (sometimes controversial) thing in France so it's the most culturally appropriate formulation for the context.

With the others I might have given myself a 4 so just short of perfect as they seem like fine alternatives (though figurer sur feels closer to the sense of 'feature' than être inclu sur), it's just that they can't list every possible variation so offer 1-4 model answers. I don't think there is only one 'correct' answer to every passage and approach these tests in that spirit.

NB I self scored v low on this one first time round so retested but still didn't get everything that was genuinely wrong first time!

Cheers, Matthew
