Who is typically included in a local council?

  1. President and Vice-President

  2. Prime Minister and Cabinet Members

  3. Mayor (or reeve) and councilors or aldermen

  4. Governor and State Representatives

The correct answer is: Mayor (or reeve) and councilors or aldermen

Local councils are typically composed of the mayor or reeve and councilors or aldermen. These are elected officials who represent and govern a specific local area, such as a city, town, or village. Option A is incorrect because the roles of President and Vice-President pertain to a national level of government, not local. Option B is incorrect because the Prime Minister and Cabinet Members also pertain to the national level of government. Option D is incorrect because the Governor and State Representatives pertain to state-level government, and not local government. Therefore, the correct option is C, as these are the officials directly involved in governing at the local level.
