Answer 1

The correct response is:

The other statements are not true:

• Only students with a GED can enroll in a doctorate program: This is incorrect; students typically need a bachelor’s degree to enter a doctorate program.

• A doctorate program starts after a high school degree and lasts 2-3 years: This is incorrect; doctorate programs usually require at least a bachelor’s degree before enrollment and typically last longer than 2-3 years.

• Only students with a bachelor’s degree can enroll in a doctorate program: This is partially true, but it is worth mentioning that some programs, like certain medical or pharmacy programs, may allow for entry directly after some college coursework, but generally, students need a bachelor’s degree or equivalent.
