question 7 of 10
which situation is the best illustration of effective political advocacy?
a. the local lions club organized a citywide food drive for those in need.
b. after hearing her friends at college discuss the election, janelle registered to vote.
c. the march on washington increased public support for civil rights legislation.
d. the twenty - sixth amendment lowered the voting age in the united states.

Explanation:

To determine effective political advocacy, we analyze each option:

• Option A: A food drive is a charitable act, not political advocacy.
• Option B: Registering to vote is personal political participation, not advocacy (which aims to influence policy or public opinion for a group).
• Option C: The March on Washington was a political advocacy effort (by a group) that successfully increased public support for civil rights legislation, directly influencing political outcomes related to policy.
• Option D: The Twenty - Sixth Amendment is a legislative change, not an act of advocacy (advocacy leads to such changes, but the amendment itself is the result, not the advocacy action).

Answer:

C. The March on Washington increased public support for civil rights legislation.
