Answer:


An ideal response will:
1. Choose either the student council classmates or driving-school classmates as being the most influential agent of Jared's political socialization.
2. Explain why the selected agent is more influential.
3. Since the student council is more directly related to politics and is embedded in the learning environment of the school, it would appear to be the most influential agent.
