Answer:

In the situation described:

1. Both Laura's and Randy's conduct will be evaluated based on the reasonable person standard.

Explanation:

When judging the actions of a person, law practitioners must compare those actions to those of a reasonable person. <u>The reasonable person is not a specific real human being, but rather a hypothetical person in society who behaves in a way that is careful, skillful, and who has the ability of making good judgments and decisions. Both Laura and Randy will have their conducts evaluated according to the reasonable person standard. Their actions and degree of understanding will be compared to that of the "reasonable person". </u>

elena-s [515]

The process by which new information displaces older information in short-term memory could explain why
Rasek [7]
 The process by which new information displaces older information in short-term memory could explain why someone, for example, could remember a phone number and suddenly he or she will forget the last three digits of the number. In order to avoid this, we can enhance our short-term memory skill by chunking or having a rehearsal.

Which of the following is not true concerning Rainforests?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
The correct answer is A. rainforests are responsible for most global oxygen turnover.
This is not true because rainforests, even though they have a lot of trees, are very humid, and actually take up a lot of oxygen to be able to 'feed' the vegetation found there. Other forests actually provide most oxygen in the world, but not rainforests. The other options are correct.
