Angry citizens ask questions about pollution at congressman's campaign what is likely to result from the event referred to in the headline^ a.) the citizens will withdraw their support from the congressman b.)the citizens will run an opposing candidate in the election c.)the representative will realize that pollution is an issue important to the people he represents. d.) the representative will ignore the citizens' questions.

The correct answer is C.

During a campaign event people ( potential voters ) ask questions about issues that concern them. The more the issue concern them, the angrier and more involved the citizen will become. The congressman who wants to be elected needs to take these questions and concerns very seriously as he needs to win the voters' confidence and make the voters vote for him.

Hopefully, he will realize that the issue in question is an important one (in this case it is pollution), and will try to take care of it once elected. Ignoring or playing down petitions of angry citizens, he gets rid of a number of potential voters, which is counterproductive to his political goal.
