Question

question 7 of 10
which statement is true of the selective service?
a. it is a system that will be used if there is a military draft in the future.
b. it is a means of selecting citizens for jury duty.
c. it is not a legal obligation for citizens, but it is a civic responsibility.
d. it is primarily a way to ensure citizens follow the law.

Explanation:

The Selective Service is a federal agency in the United States. Its main role is to maintain a system of registration for potential military conscription. If a military draft were to occur in the future, the Selective Service system would be activated.

• Option B is incorrect because it is not related to jury duty selection.
• Option C is wrong as registering with the Selective Service (for eligible males) is a legal obligation.
• Option D is also incorrect as its main purpose is not about ensuring citizens follow the law in a general sense but specifically related to potential military service.

Answer:

A. It is a system that will be used if there is a military draft in the future.
