Answer 1

The correct answer is A) lacking power without funding.

The negative scenario of interest groups that is illustrated is lacking power without funding.

Immigrants farm workers have formed an interest group to argue for worker’s right in their state. The problem they have is that they can afford a lobbyist with experience and they do not have the right contacts to secure meetings with important lawmakers. That is why the negative scenario of interest groups that is illustrated is lacking power without funding.

What they need is funding in order to get good lobbyist that experienced enough that have as many contacts as they needed in the top spheres of Congress so thyn can express their concerns with the kind of legislators that really can help them to understand their concerns and create laws to protect their interests.
