What characterizes a special interest or single issue group?

  1. Focusing on electing party candidates to office

  2. Organizing to influence government decisions based on a range of issues

  3. Being organized around and advocating for a single issue

  4. Representing a corporate interest in government

The correct answer is: Being organized around and advocating for a single issue

A special interest or single issue group is an organization that is focused on advocating for a single issue or cause. This means that they are primarily concerned with advancing their cause and do not have a broad range of issues that they are focused on. Option A is incorrect because electing party candidates is not necessarily the main goal of a special interest group. Option B is incorrect because while special interest groups can influence government decisions, they do so for a specific issue rather than a range of issues. Option D is incorrect because special interest groups represent a specific cause or interest, rather than a corporate interest.
