Answer 1

Sure — here are the answers with a brief reason for each:

1. Keeping track of media reports.
- The media often surfaces problems and sets the public/policy agenda for officials to address.

2. The US dollar rapidly declines in value.
- That’s a domestic economic condition that can affect trade and foreign policy decisions.

3. Executive agencies.
- The president sets policy, but agencies (State, Defense, Treasury, etc.) actually implement it.

4. Automobile emissions.
- Regulating air pollution from vehicles is an EPA responsibility.

5. Change policies.
- Foreign aid is often used to influence or encourage policy changes in the recipient country.
