Answer 1

The correct response is: Civil society institutions interact with the governmental sphere through legal governance.
In this case, the person recognizing the high incidence of police shootings involving minorities mobilizes others from the community to advocate for change. They engage with civil society institutions, such as community organizations, activist groups, and possibly nonprofits, to build a collective voice and lobby the state government for policy change. By doing so, they are exercising their rights to freedom of assembly, association, and expression to address an issue of public concern. This engagement with civil society institutions contributes to the public good by leveraging grassroots activism to bring about systemic changes in police training requirements, which aim to reduce incidents of police shootings and promote equal treatment and justice for all citizens.
