The different stages of the National Civics Bee where participants answer questions?

• A. Notecard Allowed
• B. Round III
• C. Competition Rounds
• D. Cumulative scores

Answer: (C)

The concept being tested is how a knowledge competition is organized into repeated phases where questions are answered. Those phases are called competition rounds. Each round is a distinct stage in which contestants answer a batch of questions, earn points, and the event moves on to the next round based on performance. So, the term that best fits describing the ongoing sequence of questioning across the event is competition rounds. In contrast, notecard allowed is about materials allowed, Round III is just a single stage, and cumulative scores describe how points add up overall rather than the separate questioning phases.
