  1. aVote and contact elected officialsCorrect answer
  2. bVote and open a bank account
  3. cJoin a political party and buy a home
  4. dHelp with a campaign and get a driver’s license

Why?

Voting and contacting elected officials are both ways to take part in civic life. Others include running for office, joining a political party or community group, helping with a campaign, and writing to a newspaper. Opening a bank account, buying a home, or getting a driver’s license are personal tasks, not civic participation.
