william does not meet the age test because he is older than chasity.
william meets the age test because he is full - time student under age 24.
william does not meet the age test because he is not under the age of 19.
william does not meet the age test because he is not chasitys child.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze the age test for a qualifying child. The age test for a qualifying child (for tax or similar purposes) typically requires the child to be under 19, or under 24 and a full - time student. William is 22, a full - time student. Let's analyze each option:

• Option 1: William is 22, older than Chasity (20), but the age test for a qualifying child is about William's age relative to the age limits (under 19 or under 24 and full - time student), not relative to Chasity's age. So this statement is incorrect.
• Option 2: William is a full - time student under 24, so he meets the age test. This statement is correct.
• Option 3: William is 22, which is over 19, but since he is a full - time student under 24, he still meets the age test. So this statement is incorrect.
• Option 4: William is Chasity's brother, not her child, but the age test for a qualifying child (if we consider the broader definition for some benefits) can apply to siblings in some cases, but the main age - related point is his age relative to the limits, not his relationship type in terms of being a child. Also, the key here is the age test. Since he is a full - time student under 24, he meets the age test. So this statement is incorrect.

Answer:

B. William meets the age test because he is full - time student under age 24.
