(De acordo com o texto acima, podemos INFERIR / DEDUZIR que:)

(A) Basic Combat Training offers a very comfortable stay for the recruits, (O Treinamento Básico de Combate oferece uma estadia muito confortável para os recrutas.)

• INCORRETA porque é dito apenas que os recrutas vivem e dormem em quartéis e não foi relatado que tais instalações são confortáveis, conforme o trecho (3º parágrafo):
• [...] Recruits in basic training live and sleep in barracks. 

(B) Recruits don't have weapon training during BCT. (Os recrutas não têm treinamento com armas durante o BCT.)

• INCORRETA porque é dito apenas que os recrutas vivem e dormem em quartéis e não foi relatado que tais instalações são confortáveis, conforme o trecho (3º parágrafo):
• [...] Recruits in basic training live and sleep in barracks.
• BARRACKS → Quarteis.

(C) Basic Training has the duration of less than one month. (A Formação Básica tem a duração inferior a um mês.)

• INCORRETA porque o treinamento básico é MORE THAN ONE MONTH e não LESS THAN ONE MONTH, conforme o trecho (2º parágrafo):
• [...] Basic training is nine weeks.
• NINE WEEKS (9 semanas) → MORE THAN ONE MONTH.

(D) Recruits probably miss their family during Basic Combat Training. (Recrutas provavelmente sentem falta de sua família durante o Treinamento Básico de Combate.)

• CORRETA porque como os recrutas não vão para casa durante o treinamento básico e não veem sua família antes da formatura, infere-se que eles provavelmente sentem falta de sua família durante o Treinamento Básico de Combate, conforme o trecho (Último parágrafo):
• [...] They don’t go home during basic training and they don’t see their family before graduation.

(E) Teenagers in the US Army are obliged to become soldiers when they are 18 years old. (Os jovens do Exército dos EUA são obrigados a se tornarem soldados aos 18 anos.)
