Answer:

The correct answer for: Why did a construction worker injured at Ground Zero start an online petition in 2015? Is: e) to pressure congress to pass a new law.

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand this question we have to analyze the subject's behavior. First of all, he is an injured worker that started an online petition. But what would be his intention? a) to mobilize voters? incorrect, he had no intention of influencing voters. b) is also wrong, he didn't want to support any political parties or candidates. c) it could have started a protest movement, but he didn't have to go online to do that and his petition wasn't for that. D) He started a petition not shared a video to get "viral" status. e) his petition was to cover a need that wasn't specified in law. So he wanted to press Congress to pass it. Without considering if it was going to get supported or achieve "viral" status.
