Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Single-issue interest groups are narrowly focused on one specific issue and typically have members who care intensely about that issue. Examples include groups like the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the Sierra Club. Both options C and D accurately describe single-issue interest groups. Option A is not a single-issue group because it includes a broad range of interests related to seniors, while option B is not a single-issue group because it advocates for government reform in general, rather than focusing on one specific issue.
