What is the purpose of the selective service?

  1. To offer volunteer services

  2. To require all men aged 18 to 25 to register for the military draft

  3. To select individuals for community service

  4. To provide financial services

The correct answer is: To require all men aged 18 to 25 to register for the military draft

The selective service is a program under the United States government that requires all men between the ages of 18 and 25 to register for the military draft. This means that the government has a list of individuals who can potentially be called upon to serve in the military if needed. This ensures that the military has a pool of eligible individuals to choose from in case of a draft. Option A is incorrect because the selective service is a mandatory program, not a volunteer one. Option C is incorrect because the selective service is solely for military purposes, not community service. Option D is also incorrect because the selective service does not provide any financial services.
