Engagement with societal issues is essential for social workers to:

Completely avoid political discourse
Expand choice and opportunity for individuals
Focus solely on administrative tasks
Isolate clients from broader issues

The correct answer is: Expand choice and opportunity for individuals

Engagement with societal issues is essential for social workers primarily because it allows them to expand choice and opportunity for individuals. Social workers recognize that many of the challenges their clients face are not just personal but are influenced by systemic factors like poverty, discrimination, and lack of access to resources. By addressing these societal issues, social workers can advocate for changes that create more equitable opportunities, thereby empowering their clients to make choices that improve their circumstances. Advocacy for broader societal change leads to policies and programs that help alleviate socio-economic barriers, ultimately enhancing clients' ability to participate fully in society. When social workers engage with these issues, they can connect clients with resources and support systems that would otherwise be inaccessible, thus fostering individual empowerment and enhanced quality of life.
