Two civic-minded reasons to get involved in politics are:

C. You can learn about how government works first-hand and be able to make informed decisions at the polls.

D. Our society needs trained leaders to serve in government and private institutions.

Examine carefully the other options. All of them point to self-interested motives, rather than civic-minded motives. Choice A says YOU want to get a great job. Choice B has YOU wanting to get close to political power (and thus have some power yourself). Choice E wants to pad YOUR personal reputation. Those are, ultimately, self-oriented motives.

Civic-mindedness has to do with serving as a citizen on behalf of other citizens and the society in which you all share. Civic-minded motives are those which are not about yourself, but demonstrate commitment to the public good and to your fellow human beings in society.

Choices C and D are the options that show genuine civic-mindedness.
