Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
4
Four members would be insufficient to represent all five of Rhode Island's counties as required by statute, making this number structurally impossible under the law.
5
Five members, while equal to the number of counties, would leave no room for additional professional, consumer, or at-large representation that the full nine-member body provides.
8

9

This specific number is codified in state statute and is a direct test of candidates' knowledge of Rhode Island's regulatory framework.
