Which term describes 'the action of speaking or acting on behalf of someone'?

• A. Representation
• B. Civic Engagement
• C. Constitution
• D. Slogan

Answer: (A)

Representation means speaking or acting on behalf of someone else. It describes when a person or group has been chosen to voice their interests, make decisions, or carry out actions for them, such as a representative in government speaking for constituents or a lawyer acting for a client. The other terms don’t fit as well: Civic Engagement is about participating in political or community life, the Constitution is the fundamental set of laws that structure a state, and a Slogan is a short, catchy phrase used in campaigns. So representation best captures the idea of acting on behalf of others.
