Let’s go through the “True or False” questions one by one, using only the information from the passage.

Question 3: You must be over 18 to vote.
The text says: “You must be a United States citizen and eighteen years old to register to vote.”

at least 18 — so “over 18” is wrong because 18-year-olds can vote too.

*(Note: “Over 18” usually means 19+, but the law says 18 is okay. So this statement is false.)*
