Georgia Government — Quiz

Question 1 • American Government/Civics

Which example would most likely lead Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources to take action?

Answer
A
A bridge falls into disrepair, and the government orders it to be repaired.
B
A state agency hires a chief engineer with a criminal background.
C
A business discharges hazardous material into a river near its headquarters.
D
A gas explosion at a night club is caused by a gas company employee.

Explanation

Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources is responsible for protecting the state’s natural resources and environment. Discharging hazardous material into a river threatens water quality and wildlife, so it would most likely prompt the department to act. The other examples concern bridge maintenance, hiring, or a gas explosion rather than environmental protection.
