B
asking various people about how the guidelines will affect them
C
researching how the Department of Education makes its decisions
D
discussing the reasons the Department of Education made the guidelines with someone who works there
E

Explanation
Since Sandra has not decided whether she supports the guidelines, she should gather information about their effects and the reasons behind them. Asking various people how the guidelines will affect them provides perspectives on their consequences, and discussing the reasons for the guidelines with someone who works at the Department can clarify their purpose. These are B and D; brainstorming alternatives or listing towns does not directly explain this set of guidelines or its effects.
