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 filing deadline, whatever the reason, will have a permit denied.
- Jordan is the only applicant in this cycle who managed to submit all required forms on time.
- The governing regulation has remained in effect, unchanged and unchallenged, for many years.
- Submitting the required forms after the deadline would still have resulted in Jordan's approval.
