A recreational flyer must follow the safety guidelines ________ developed by a Community Based Organization.

• A. Created
• B. Developed
• C. Issued
• D. Approved

Answer: (B)

The important idea is that community groups create and shape safety guidance. The best verb is developed because it shows the organization worked to design and refine the guidelines they publish. It isn’t about merely issuing a rule from an outside authority, nor about something that someone else has to approve. Issued suggests a formal directive from an authority, and approved implies validation by another party, neither of which best fits the idea that the Community Based Organization crafted the guidelines themselves. Created is close, but developed conveys the process of putting the guidelines together and making them suitable for use.
