Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of a check clearing the bank: A check is considered cleared when the bank processes it and deducts the amount from your account balance.
Review the options provided in the problem: Analyze each scenario to determine which one aligns with the definition of a check clearing the bank.
Option 1: Recording the check in your check register is a personal bookkeeping action and does not involve the bank processing the check.
Option 2: Mailing the check to the payee is the act of sending the payment, but it does not confirm that the bank has processed the check.
Option 3: The correct answer is when the amount of the check appears as a deduction on your bank statement, as this indicates the bank has processed the check and it has officially cleared.
