Because We Said So

[rowyn]

From an online banking course I'm taking:

Why does a regulation issued by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) affect lenders?

A) Because borrowers are using the proceeds of a mortgage to purchase housing.
B) Because the government can pretty much do whatever it wants.
C) Because the Federal Reserve Board didn't come up with a regulation quickly enough.

The online course insists that "A" is the correct answer, but I can't help thinking that "B" just about covers it, really.

It seems inappropriate of the test designers to place two obviously correct answers for the same question. They could have, at minimum, added "all of the above." ];-)

B) Usually covers it anytime government is involved.

But hey!

At least it's a regulation being used against banks. :D

Yeah, that does seem like an unfair answer selection. I'd complain if I were you.
