Use figures for ages 11 and older.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Only for 12 and older
• D. Ages 10 and older

Answer: (B)

Using numerals for ages starting at eleven matches the common writing guideline: spell out numbers that are ages up to ten, and use digits for eleven and older. This rule keeps ages quick to read and unambiguous in text. So the statement “Use figures for ages 11 and older” is correct because it follows that boundary. For example, 11 years old would be written with digits, while ten or younger are typically written as words, like “ten years old.” The alternative ideas don’t fit: starting the digit rule at twelve misses 11, saying ages ten and older would require digits for 10 (which isn’t standard), and calling it false contradicts the usual convention.
