May a PI advertise his services using the address of a telephone answering service without fully disclosing that the address is that of an answering service?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if the service is 24/7

  4. Only with prior approval

The correct answer is: No

This is because it is important for a PI to fully disclose any necessary information about their business when advertising. Using the address of a telephone answering service may be misleading to potential clients who may believe they are contacting the physical location of the PI's business. Additionally, using the address of a third party without their permission may also be considered deceptive. While some jurisdictions may allow some leeway in certain situations, it is generally not advisable to advertise in this manner in order to maintain transparency and avoid any potential legal or ethical issues. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect and may not be the most ethical or appropriate choices.
