Answer:

A) Yes, as his conduct was intentional.

Explanation:

While Adam was only playing a practical joke, his own common sense should have said to him that stage a robbery even with the intention of a joke could provoke emotional distress in people.  

When it comes to jokes, it is important to remember that there are subjects that we are all scared about and some people react in different ways, so while his intention was not about inflicting emotional distress, his conduct was one hundred percent intentional.

Making jokes is ok but in a contest where people do not feel emotional distress because of them.

Life for those of us in this caste is not easy. Everywhere we go people treat us like we are dirt, or worse, they treat us like
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

According to the description, this person is a Dalit.

Explanation:

The Dalits are the lowest caste in India. Even nowadays, they are regarded as impure by the upper castes. Dalits are poor and often have low literacy. They usually work on jobs that involve sanitation, such as disposing of garbage and collecting dead animals from the streets. Such jobs indicate a historical continuity, since the Dalits performed similar tasks in the past. As a matter of fact, that is the reason why they are seen as impure or polluting.
