Question

the federal government gives money to a community to try to reduce the impact of gang violence. how can the community use this money most effectively?

• by increasing funding for fire and medical response
• by creating grants for businesses struggling to stay open
• by giving money to individual families who live in the community

Explanation:

To reduce gang violence impact, fire and medical response funding helps address immediate consequences (like injuries from violence) and improve safety. Business grants or family handouts don't directly target gang violence reduction. So the first option is most effective.

Answer:

A. by increasing funding for fire and medical response
