The Governor’s Task Force on Domestic Violence recommended establishing a toll-free domestic violence hotline.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not mentioned
• D. Recommended a paid hotline

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is accessibility of support for survivors and the use of a no-cost resource to encourage help-seeking. A toll-free hotline removes cost as a barrier, making it easier for anyone in crisis to reach trained advocates for crisis intervention, safety planning, and referrals. If the Governor’s Task Force on Domestic Violence recommended establishing such a hotline, that matches the goal of expanding immediate, free access to support, so the statement is true.

Why the other options don’t fit: a claim that it’s false would contradict the stated recommendation; saying it wasn’t mentioned would ignore the explicit mention; and proposing a paid hotline would conflict with the concept of toll-free access.
