A regulation states that a permit will be approved if the applicant submits all required forms by the deadline. Jordan submitted all required forms before the deadline. A clerk concludes that Jordan's permit will therefore be approved.
The clerk's reasoning depends on assuming which one of the following?
- No condition beyond timely submission of the required forms stands between Jordan and approval.
- Every applicant who misses the deadline will have a permit denied.
- Jordan is the only applicant who submitted all required forms on time.
- The regulation has been in effect for many years without amendment.
- Submitting the forms late would still have resulted in approval for Jordan.
