Explanation:

Lenin put forward three demands as 'April Theses'.

1. The party was opposed to private property. Most industries and banks were nationalized.
2. Land was declared a social property and the peasants were allowed to seize the land of the nobles.
3. End war and Russia should withdraw from the war.

(ii) Democracy is a form of government in which the people have the authority to choose who they are governed by. Elections are the process by which people vote to select their own representative based on majority support.

(iii) Rationing is the process undertaken by the government in response to adverse weather conditions, trade or import/export restrictions, or in more extreme cases, during a recession or a war, in order to overcome the shortage of food.
