Which of the following is not one of the sections of a resolution?

• A. Authority
• B. Purpose
• C. Scope and Intent
• D. Self help

Answer: (D)

Resolutions are written with clear sections that establish who has the authority to act, why the action is being taken, and the extent of the action. The Authority section names the individuals or offices empowered to implement the decision and cites the legal or governing basis. The Purpose section states what the resolution seeks to accomplish. The Scope and Intent section describes the boundaries of the action and the intended outcomes. A Self help section, by contrast, would imply informal or unauthorised action beyond the formal written framework, and that is not part of a standard resolution. Therefore, Self help is not one of the sections.
