Who are the students that have advanced to compete in the National Civics Bee?

• A. Finalists
• B. Study Guide Video
• C. Key Ideas
• D. Leaderboard

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is understanding what “advancing to compete” means in a contest. In the National Civics Bee, a group of students moves forward from earlier rounds to participate in the final stage. Those who earn a spot to continue are called finalists. So the students who have advanced to the competition are the finalists.

The other options don’t fit that idea: a study guide video is a resource for learning, not a group of advancing students; key ideas are the essential topics, not a group of competitors; and a leaderboard is a ranking display, which shows scores but doesn’t itself designate who has earned a place to compete.
