Answer 1

The correct government levels matched with the informal practices are the national level for the Federal Trade Commission and EPA-related items, the Local Level for the county parks department, and the State Level for the governor's salary proposal for the National Guard.

Step-by-step explanation:

When matching the government level most closely associated with each informal practice:

1. The Federal Trade Commission issues regulations as to what can be broadcast by television stations at the national Level.
2. The county parks department issues new rules as to when parks will close during the summer at the local Level.
3. The President asks the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue rules regulating coal-fired energy plants at the national Level.
4. The governor decides to propose a salary increase for members of the National Guard at the state Level.

This exercise demonstrates the different scopes of authority and regulatory power vested in local, state, and national government bodies, which in turn shape the daily lives of citizens and ensure the smooth operation of societies, including business marketplaces.
