Answer 4

The two careers that are considered in government and public administration from the options provided are:

1. Legislative aides
2. Tax auditors

Community health workers and social workers can also be involved in public service, but they are not exclusively considered government and public administration careers like legislative aides and tax auditors. Sales managers do not fall under this category.

Answer 5

The true statement about careers in the government and public administration cluster from the options provided is:

**All careers in government and public administration are dedicated to serving the country.**

The other statements are incorrect:

- Not all positions are volunteer; many are paid.
- Most workers are not military employees; government and public administration includes a wide range of civilian roles.
- Not all positions require election; many are appointed or hired based on qualifications and experience.

Answer 6

The true statement about unpaid internships from the options provided is:

**Interns may not displace regular employees.**

This means that interns should not be doing work that would typically be done by paid employees, and their role should be more about learning and gaining experience rather than replacing existing staff.

The other statements are incorrect:

- Interns are not entitled to jobs at the end of their internships.
- Interns are not entitled to wages if the internship is unpaid.
- Internship experience should primarily benefit the interns, providing them with learning opportunities and skills.

Answer 7

The two pathways that are considered part of the government and public service cluster from the options provided are:

1. **Planning**
2. **National security**

These areas are directly related to roles and functions within government and public service. Lodging, teaching and training, and construction do not specifically align with this cluster in the same way.
