Students fix errors in government leadership facts. Part A corrects three sentences that swap the mayor, governor, and president's jurisdictions. Part B has four fill-in-the-blank questions about who leads a city, which level of government provides police and firefighters, and how citizens choose their leaders. Part C has three true-or-false statements about the mayor, governor, and what local government provides.
Getting the three leadership levels in the correct order is the foundational step for all government studies.
