1. yes
2. no
3. I'm not sure.
Answered by Reed
I agree with A and D for #1, not sure about B and C. Generalized jobs? Job descriptions are often very specific in a bureaucracy. The goals are often specific, too. The IRS collects taxes. Period.

I don't know about #3, either. I don't know how your text defines a "staff agency" or a "line agency". Make sure you do.

NSF is a staff agency, independent,reports to no elected officials. It supports and works with those in the field of research science, to further national goals.
Answered by Reed
bobpursley, that's what I would have answered, too, but the correct answer has to match the text materials. I think you are correct. At the same time, I want the student to know the answer and understand it, not just get the points on the exercise without understanding what it means.
