Not quite. The correct answer is highlighted.

Correct answer to question 24 (Air Brakes): A reasonably short, specified time while the engine runs at a fast idle, not an unlimited amount of time

Why

Part of the pre-trip check is confirming the compressor can build air pressure to a safe operating level within a reasonable, specified time, since a compressor that builds pressure too slowly could leave a driver without enough air during the day.
