<p>The professor argued that every grassroots movement needs …: without public declaration of motives, there can be no cohesive organization.</p>

<p>(A) an invocation
(B) a prospectus
(C) a manifesto
(D) an arbitration
(E) a mandate</p>

<p>The answer is “a manifesto”… but I couldn’t understand why “a mandate” isn’t appropriate in this sentence… Please expalin me…</p>
