In a certain state, hunting permits require the hunter to be at least 18 years old, possess a valid driver's license or
state identification, and have completed a safety program within the past 5 years. The hunter must also sign a
legal document pledging not to consume alcohol while hunting. Which of the following can be correctly inferred
from the above statements?
"¢ All states have the same requirements for hunting permits.
"¢ Hunters under the age of 21 don't need to sign the alcohol pledge because they are not legally allowed to drink
alcohol under any circumstances.
"¢ If a person last completed the safety program six years ago, he will have to complete the program again before he
can be eligible for a permit.
"¢ Someone who isn't 18 years old cannot obtain a hunting permit in this state.
"¢ Hunting is such a dangerous activity that state controls and requirements are necessary to ensure that nobody gets
hurt.

Hi rakeshd347,

This CR prompt asks for an inference based on the given information. While some inference questions can be quite difficult, this one is fairly straight-forward. Here's what we know from the prompt:

To get a hunting permit, you need the following requirements:
1) the hunter is at least 18 years old
2) the hunter possesses a vlid driver's license or ID
3) the hunter has competed a safety program during the last 5 years.
4) the hunter must sign a legal document pledging not to consume alcohol.

The crux of this question is #3...

With this one detail, the correct answer must be C
