Items require identifying each stakeholder's role and resources, outlining key steps in planning, funding, and decision-making, evaluating potential challenges and compromises, and proposing a simple cooperative plan that balances needs and benefits. Appropriate for grades 3–5; focuses on comparison, cause–effect reasoning, and basic evaluation.
