Students answer questions about leaders, services, and civic participation. Part A has four multiple-choice questions about the leader responsible for a state, who to contact about a broken streetlight, and the main purpose of laws. Part B has five fill-in-the-blank problems about the governor signing bills, tax-funded public services, and town hall meetings.
