Question

question 9 (multiple choice worth 3 points)
an issue in your community has continued to be a problem for over a year. you have emailed and met with your local representative and attended town hall meetings with other like-minded people. what is the most appropriate next step if your group has tried all forms of communication with no response from officials?
reach out to local news.
post on social media.
sign an online petition.
block the meeting exits.

Explanation:

When direct communication with officials fails, leveraging local news is a structured, legitimate way to bring public attention to the community issue, putting pressure on officials to respond without violating laws or social order. Social media and online petitions may lack the reach and credibility of local news, while blocking exits is an illegal, disruptive act that is not appropriate.

Answer:

Reach out to local news.
