Explanation:

Question 15: The Advocacy Coalition Model centers on shared belief systems as the core binding force for actors in policy subsystems.
Question 16: Traditional news media still holds influence for political leaders in shaping policy agendas, alongside social media, so the statement is false.
Question 17: A zero-sum situation is defined as one where gains for one party equal losses for another, meaning winners profit at the losers' expense.
Question 18: In many parliamentary systems, the Office of the Leader of the Opposition or a dedicated parliamentary liaison/communications agency facilitates this relationship; a common example is the Parliamentary Press Gallery or a specific inter-party/media relations office, but the standard answer for this framework is the Office of the Leader of the Opposition (or parliamentary media liaison office) (note: in some contexts, it may refer to a dedicated parliamentary communications agency, but the core role is to manage government-opposition-media interactions).
