Subject: Official Information request - Is the intended usage of the word “state” a verb or noun

[You don't often get email from [FOI #21520 email]. Learn why this is important at https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentific... ]

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

Good Day, I wish to ask a question in relation to a word being used in the printout ie: the word “state” used in the sentence, “(If twin, state whether older or younger)”. Is the intended usage of the word “state” a verb or noun.

Yours faithfully,

darren-edward
