Read the scenario. Local officials in a small town are discussing a proposal to construct an outdoor stage in central downtown. They agree to survey individuals, organizations, and businesses in the community before they make a decision. Why do the local officials survey different community groups before making a decision?
Answer
A
Different community groups’ opinions are valued more than others.
B
Different community groups might value the proposal differently.
C
The officials need all community members to contribute to the project.
D
The officials need all community members to agree on the proposal.
Explanation
Different groups may be affected by the outdoor stage in different ways, so their views on the proposal may differ. Surveying individuals, organizations, and businesses helps officials understand those differing priorities before deciding. It does not mean some groups’ opinions count more or that everyone must contribute or agree.
