Ans. 2) 
I will be writing on supporting a proposal.
Ans. 3) 
The key elements are friends or acquaintances, organizations and groups, and 
media. These elements are very important. Talking to friends and discussing our 
opinions with respect for their views too will help us in numerous ways. It may help 
us meet people who share the same opinion and can turn out to be future allies. 
Similarly, being part of an organization and speaking to groups helps in highlighting 
the importance of an issue. Media is one of the strongest elements which can help 
change the public opinion. Media has a huge reach and can broadcast information 
and opinions far and wide. Inclusion of media in a planned event will give it a state 
wide coverage. Being part of the talks on radio and television will highlight the 
importance of our opinions.
Ans. 4) 
Collaboration tends to increase the efficiency of  individual units. People or group 
striving towards a common goal can collaborate share resources, information and 
knowledge in order to move forward collectively towards a common goal. Impact of a 
collaboration is much more than the sum of the individual impacts of separate units. 
Collaboration is seen in all fields at all times. At times of natural disaster various 
government and private organizations collaborate to bring back peace to the affected 
area.
