How many persons may the Secretary of State appoint as notaries?

  1. 100

  2. As many as he/she deems necessary

  3. 500

  4. A fixed number each year

The correct answer is: As many as he/she deems necessary

The Secretary of State can appoint as many notaries as he/she deems necessary. This is because the duties of a notary are important and their services are in high demand, so having a fixed number or limit may not be sufficient to meet the needs of the public. Option A and C both provide specific numbers, which may not accurately reflect the current demand for notary services. Option D suggests a fixed number, which may not be suitable for varying levels of need. Therefore, option B is the most suitable in terms of flexibility and meeting the needs of the public.
