Correct Answer
A. The draft

Explanation
The Selective Service is commonly known as "the draft." This refers to a system where individuals are required to serve in the military, usually during times of war or national emergency. This term is widely used and understood to mean the process of compulsory military service. The other options provided (incarceration, juvenile detention, involuntary manslaughter) are unrelated to the Selective Service and do not serve as alternative names for it.

D.

Pregnant women who want to receive government assistance.

Correct Answer
B. Men, age 18, who are citizens or residing in this country.

Explanation
The correct answer is "men, age 18, who are citizens or residing in this country." This is because the Selective Service is a requirement for all male citizens and immigrants residing in the United States between the ages of 18 and 25. It is a system that maintains information on potential military service eligibility in case a draft is ever needed. Women are currently not required to sign up for Selective Service. The statement about all US children being signed up at birth is incorrect, as Selective Service registration is only required for males when they reach the age of 18. The statement about pregnant women wanting government assistance is unrelated to the Selective Service requirement.
