Step-by-step solution for: Civic Action and Change | Civic Engagement Examples | iCivics
It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet titled "Civic Action and Change", which contains several questions related to civic engagement, political participation, and historical movements for social change. Since I can't view images directly, I'll analyze the text content you've provided and help you solve each part of the task step by step.
Let’s go through each section carefully:
---
1. Discrimination is one form of _________.
- Options: A. segregation, B. inequality, C. discrimination, D. civil rights
> The sentence says "Discrimination is one form of _________." But "discrimination" is already the subject. That means the blank must be a broader category that includes discrimination.
> ✔ Answer: B. inequality
> *Explanation:* Discrimination is a type of inequality — it involves unfair treatment based on race, gender, etc., which leads to unequal outcomes.
---
2. All of the groups in this lesson have faced _________.
- Options: A. segregation, B. inequality, C. injustice, D. civil rights
> This refers to groups that have experienced unfair treatment (e.g., African Americans, women). The most accurate general term here is injustice or inequality. But since "civil rights" is a movement, not something people "face," and "segregation" is too specific, we look at context.
> ✔ Answer: C. injustice
> *Explanation:* “Faced injustice” is a common phrase meaning they were treated unfairly. While "inequality" is close, "injustice" better captures the moral wrong involved.
---
3. Protests and boycotts create public understanding about a civil rights _________.
- Options: A. movement, B. organization, C. right, D. dispute
> We’re talking about protests and boycotts — these are actions taken during a movement. The phrase “civil rights movement” is standard terminology.
> ✔ Answer: A. movement
> *Explanation:* These tactics are used to advance a civil rights movement, such as the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s–60s.

This section asks you to match accommodations (like ramps, closed captioning) with people who might need them.
But since there are no actual images, I’ll explain how to approach this based on typical examples:
| Accommodation | Who Might Need It? |
|---------------|--------------------|
| Ramps on an alternative to stairs | People using wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers |
| Closed captioning on TV | People who are deaf or hard of hearing |
| Braille signs | People who are blind or visually impaired |
| Audio signals at crosswalks | People who are blind or visually impaired |
| Wheelchair-accessible seating | People using wheelchairs |
✔ So if your images show:
- A ramp → matches someone in a wheelchair
- Closed captioning → person with hearing loss
- Braille sign → person with visual impairment
- Audio signal → person with visual impairment
Match accordingly based on the visuals.

We are to match each movement with the opposition it faced.
#### Movements & Oppositions:
1. The Equal Pay Act (1963) – made it illegal to pay men and women differently for doing the same job.
➤ Opposed by: Employers who wanted to keep paying women less
➤ Match with: D. Employers who didn’t want to pay women equally
2. The Americans with Disabilities Act (1990) – requires all buildings used by the public to be accessible to all people.
➤ Opposed by: Business owners who didn’t want to spend money on modifications
➤ Match with: C. Business owners who didn’t want to spend money on changes
3. Abolitionist movement / Native American land rights – fought against slavery and land theft from Indigenous peoples.
➤ Opposed by: Slavers and settlers who wanted to take Native lands
➤ Match with: A. Slavers and settlers who wanted to expand westward
4. The Agricultural Worker Protection Act of 1983 – required safety training for farmworkers exposed to pesticides.
➤ Opposed by: Farmers who didn’t want extra costs or regulations
➤ Match with: B. Farmers who didn’t want new rules
So final matching:
| Movement | Opposition |
|--------|------------|
