7th Grade Civics EOC Practice Test

Which topic matches the example of a public issue?

Education Personal preferences Sport team choices Grocery list

Correct Answer:

Education

Explanation:

Public issues are topics that affect many people in a community and typically require government involvement or public policy to address. Education fits because it touches students, families, and taxpayers, and decisions about funding, standards, access, and school quality are shaped by public policy and government action. These discussions happen in the public sphere and influence how resources are allocated and how services are delivered. In contrast, personal preferences, sport team choices, and a grocery list are private or individual matters that don’t usually involve broad public policy or government decisions. So education is the topic that matches a public issue.
