Why is it important for you to be politically active?
Answer:
It is improtant for you, as a citizen to be politically active in order to share your voice. It may seem like your vote and your voice don't stand out in the billions of poeple in the world, but if you start small, you make a big difference. Votes aren't just for the ruler of the country, they're for local leaders, too, much smaller elections that still hold just as much power. If you get a person into a position of power that you know will lead well, then they will have a bigger voice than yours, but they will be screaming the same thing.

How does Helena react to Lysander's sudden love for her when he awakens?
She falls in love with him
she is angry and thinks he is teasing her
She is happy as she has loved him all along
She tells Herima right away
Answer:
she is angry and thinks he is teasing her
Explanation:
Puck has mistakenly applied the juice from flower "love-in-idleness" (wild pansy) on Lysander’s eyes. When applied to the sleeping person, the juice makes them fall in love with the first person they see.
Helena is the one to stumble upon Lysander and wakes him up. As Helena is the first person he saw, Lysander falls in love with her immediately.
But Helena knows Lysander loves Hermia and is very confused by his sudden change of heart. Helena gets angry and thinks he is mocking her (Wherefore was I to this keen mockery born? / When at your hands did I deserve this scorn? ). She scolds him for playing with her and insulting her (I thought you lord of more true gentleness. / O, that a lady, of one man refused. /Should of another therefore be abused!). Offended and embarrassed, Helena runs away.
