Agency and License Law Practice Question
Question
A license applicant is reviewing a practice scenario for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving advertising compliance and Massachusetts Board of Registration. Which statement is most accurate for exam purposes? (Item 118)
Answer choices
- A. The safest practice is to avoid written documentation so fewer questions are raised later.
- B. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
- C. A licensee may give legal conclusions instead of recommending qualified legal advice when uncertain.
- D. A verbal understanding always replaces a written real estate requirement.
Correct Answer
B. Avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because advertising compliance requires candidates to avoid misleading ads and include required brokerage or license identification. The Massachusetts reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
