Men must register for the Selective Service between which two ages?
ABetween sixteen and twenty-one
BBetween eighteen and twenty-six
CBetween eighteen and thirty-five
DBetween twenty and twenty-six
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Between eighteen and twenty-six
1. The Selective Service keeps a register of men who could be called to serve.
2. The duty begins at age eighteen, the same age at which citizens can vote.
3. The registration window runs between eighteen and twenty-six.
4. So the two ages that mark the window are eighteen and twenty-six.
5. A window starting at sixteen begins too early, because nobody registers before eighteen.
6. A window ending at thirty-five runs on too long, and one starting at twenty begins after the duty has already started.
