Question 6 • CA-Government Essentials (IS)

Read the passage. Aram and Nancy are working together on a research project about how elected officials can bring about change. Aram wants them to explore the relationship between the president and Congress, and how good leaders are able to build support for important legislation. "I’d rather focus on city government,” Nancy said. "My aunt is in the city council and that’s where real change happens.” "But that’s small stuff compared to what goes on in Washington,” Aram replied. "I say we go straight to the top!” "I disagree,” said Nancy. "It’s at the local level where all change begins.”

Answer
A
Nancy thinks Aram is trying to control the project.
B
Nancy does not agree with the current president’s views.
C
Nancy does not like Aram’s idea because she thinks it will be too difficult to do.
D
Nancy’s family background and experience have given her a different perspective.

Explanation

Nancy favors studying city government because her aunt serves on the city council, giving her firsthand exposure to local politics. That experience shapes her belief that real change begins at the local level, unlike Aram’s focus on national government. The passage does not suggest that Nancy is worried about the project being difficult or that she disagrees with the president’s views.
