Question 1 • Fall 24 American Government/Civics IC

Which statement about independent executive agencies is most accurate?

Answer
A
Independent executive agencies handle day-to-day operations for the president.
B
Independent executive agencies have a narrow focus.
C
Independent executive agencies are headed by a secretary who advises the president.
D
Independent executive agencies belong to the cabinet.

Explanation

Independent executive agencies are generally created to address a specific area or task, so they have a narrower focus than executive departments. Executive departments, not independent agencies, are usually headed by a secretary, advise the president, and are part of the cabinet. Therefore, the most accurate statement is that independent executive agencies have a narrow focus.
