Question 21 • American Government/Civics

Which of these is the best reason to explain why candidates for office hire campaign staff to run their campaigns?

Answer
A
Campaigns are run according to accepted rules, and one of those rules is that candidates for office must hire campaign staff.
B
If candidates for office lose their runs for office, they can blame staff members for what went wrong.
C
Campaigns are complex undertakings, and candidates must hire staff members to manage specific activities.
D
Candidates hire staff members because campaigns provide an opportunity to give jobs to family members and friends.

Explanation

Running a campaign involves many tasks, such as organizing events, communicating with voters, and managing volunteers. Because these activities can be complex and require specialized attention, candidates hire staff to manage them. Choice C gives this practical reason; the other choices describe rules or motives that do not explain the general need for campaign staff.
