b it is unfair that hemmons was unable to serve in the military with carter.
c it is cute that carter and hemmons met for weekly air dates.
d carter should have dated hemmons longer before marrying her.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The passage doesn't emphasize luck in earning the license for air dates, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: The passage focuses on the couple's air dates and their relationship, not on the unfairness of military service (though it mentions she couldn't serve, the main point about air dates isn't this), so B is incorrect.
• Option C: The passage ends with "Aww!" and describes their weekly air dates in a positive, cute way (smiling, waving, soaring together), so this matches the author's view.
• Option D: The passage says they married a month after graduation and focuses on their air dates being cute, not that they should have dated longer, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. It is cute that Carter and Hemmons met for weekly air dates.
