Question 53 • EA ACADEMY PHYSICAL SCIENCE SPRING

Which scenario is an example of different levels of government working together to solve a problem?

Answer

A grassroots organization suggests an initiative to restore voting rights to citizens who were once convicted of a felony. State election officials place the initiative on the ballot to give voters the chance to weigh in on the idea.

The governor orders people to wear masks in public during a nationwide pandemic. The mayor of a small town opposes the order and tells local businesses that they can ignore it.

The power often goes out in one area during windstorms. Government leaders create a plan to bury power lines to protect them. State and federal funds, plus a local tax on property owners, would pay for the plan.

To boost the economy, a city passes a law to raise the minimum wage to $2 higher than the amount set by the state. The state responds by passing a law that prevents cities from adjusting the minimum wage.

Explanation

Different levels of government work together when they coordinate resources to address the same problem. In choice C, local leaders plan to bury power lines, and state and federal funds contribute alongside a local property tax to pay for it. The other choices describe governments proposing separate actions or opposing one another, rather than cooperating.
