Answer to Question 1

B
Further clarification is needed if a student responds mission. Career planning does not require the
individual to have a mission. Three primary elements for effective control of one's career planning are
developing a vision (long-term goals), creating goals, and making plans to achieve them (strategic
planning).

Answer to Question 2

A
The build political credibility step includes participating in local, state, and national policymaking
efforts that support the partnership and its political agenda. Soothe and bargain is to downplay rivalry
and address conflict in a timely, constructive manner. Report, publicize, and lobby is the group's
political cause. To reaffirm, redefine, or discontinue is to regularly evaluate work with consumer
groups.
