Question: 1 / 400

What constitutes a defense for a server against a charge of selling alcohol to a minor?

The server didn't know the ID was fake

The server was too busy to check ID properly

Inspecting an ID and reasonably concluding it is acceptable

One possible explanation for why the other options are incorrect is that they do not all fully represent a valid defense for a server against a charge of selling alcohol to a minor. Option A, not realizing the ID was fake, may not hold up in court as servers are expected to be diligent in checking IDs. Option B, being too busy, is also not a sufficient defense as servers are responsible for checking IDs no matter how busy they may be. Option D, the minor being accompanied by an adult, may also not be a valid defense as servers are expected to verify the age of the person purchasing the alcohol, not just their company. Option C, inspecting an ID and reasonably concluding it is acceptable, shows that the server took appropriate steps to verify the age of the person and had a valid defense if the ID turned out to be fake.
