Explanation:

Analyze the goal of the question

The question asks for the best way Andrew can actively help his favored congressional candidate get elected.

Evaluate the options based on direct impact

• Voting on election day is a personal civic duty, but it only contributes a single vote rather than actively helping the candidate secure other votes.
• Watching the local news and educating himself are passive actions that inform Andrew but do not directly assist the candidate's campaign.
• Writing a letter to the candidate shows support but does not actively help persuade other voters or assist campaign operations.
• Volunteering to work on the campaign directly assists the candidate by helping with outreach, organizing events, and mobilizing other voters to get the candidate elected.

Answer:

• He can remember to vote on election day.
• He can watch the local news every evening.
• He can educate himself on local public policies.
• He can write a letter to the candidate to show his support.
• He can volunteer to work on the campaign. (Correct answer)
