Resolução comentada

Simple Past x Present Perfect em texto biográfico.

Ações concluídas em momento definido do passado usam Simple Past: 'was 17 when he decided' e 'joined ... in 1994'. 'Has been in the Army for 29 years' indica situação que continua até hoje (Present Perfect com 'for'), e 'Since his graduation' pede Present Perfect: 'has served'.

Análise das alternativas

A) 'has decided' e 'served' estão incorretos: a decisão foi pontual no passado e 'since' pede Present Perfect. B) 'Has been 17' é incorreto, pois a idade se refere a um momento passado. C) 'has joined' contradiz a data definida (1994). E) 'was in the Army for 29 years' sugere que ele não está mais no Exército, e 'served' não combina com 'since'.

Referência: Simple Past vs. Present Perfect (for/since/datas específicas)
