### Educational Website Content: Pairwise Comparison (Copeland's Method) 

#### Problem Statement

Below is an example of an election using the Pairwise Comparison method (Copeland's Method). 

**Voter Preferences:**

| Number of Voters | 10  | 14  | 11  | 15  |
|------------------|-----|-----|-----|-----|
| **1st Choice**   | B   | D   | C   | A   |
| **2nd Choice**   | C   | B   | D   | C   |
| **3rd Choice**   | A   | A   | B   | D   |
| **4th Choice**   | D   | C   | A   | B   |

Participants need to determine the following:

1. **Number of points Candidate D receives under Pairwise Comparison (Copeland's Method):**
   - **Input Box:** Points = [______]
   - _(Note: This is a user-input field, where students input the number of points.)_

2. **Winner of the election under Pairwise Comparison (Copeland's Method):**
   - **Dropdown Box:** Winner = [ C ] 
   - _(Note: The correct answer is preselected as 'C'.)_

#### Detailed Explanation of the Pairwise Comparison (Copeland's Method):

1. **Pairwise Comparison:**
   Each candidate is compared directly with every other candidate. The winner of each comparison is the one preferred by more voters. The candidate who wins the most comparisons earns points. 

2. **Understanding the Table:**
   - **Number of Voters:** Indicates how many voters have the preference order shown in the corresponding column.
   - **1st to 4th Choice:** Represents the preference rankings for the candidates (A, B, C, and D).

3. **Steps to Calculate Points for Candidate D:**
   - Compare Candidate D with each other candidate (A, B, C).
   - Tally the number of voters preferring D over
