Which entities provide expertise and advice on specific political or economic challenges?

  1. Political parties

  2. Lobbyists

  3. Think tanks

  4. Trade unions

The correct answer is: Think tanks

Think tanks are organizations that engage in research, analysis, and advocacy on a wide range of public policy issues, including political and economic challenges. They develop expertise in specific areas, such as healthcare, education, foreign policy, and economic strategy, and provide policymakers with evidence-based recommendations. Their work often influences public debate and may help shape legislation by presenting informed perspectives and proposing solutions to complex issues. This makes think tanks crucial in helping government officials and the general public understand and address pressing challenges.
