Can someone explain the answer to this one for me? It appears to be CONTNT--with the "e" from CONTENT having being mushed together to form a TE in the square joining CONTENT and HEAT ELEMENT. I understood all other answers in the puzzle: hint, dash, trace, but can't understand the TE nor can I figure out what "CONTENT" has to do with "representative group" other than some very obscure reference to voting blocks in the British Parliament. I'd love some explanation of what I am missing....
