Which year involved establishing the National Training Institute at the University of Michigan?

• A. 1990
• B. 1986
• C. 1953
• D. 2014

Answer: (A)

This question assesses when the National Training Institute at the University of Michigan became an official, lasting entity. The correct year is 1990, because that is when the institute was formally established—receiving its charter, initial funding, and the first set of programs to begin. Establishment means more than just planning or ideas; it’s when the organization is recognized as a stable part of the university with ongoing operations. The other years don’t align with the documented founding date: 1953 is too early for this initiative, 1986 would more likely reflect planning or a precursor stage rather than the official birth, and 2014 comes well after the founding, representing later developments rather than its outset.
