Answer 1

Mailing advertisements to the public is a form of indirect lobbying because they aren't directly personalizing their form of contact to the person. In all the other cases, it is one on one.

Answer 2

Answer: Mailing advertisements to the public.

Lobbying is the attempt to influence the actions of decisions of policy makers or regulatory agencies. Lobbyists include private citizens as well as professional lobbying agencies. In this case, the only example of indirect lobbying is mailing advertisements to the public. This is because it is the only example in which lobbyists are not directly contacting policy makers.
