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.

Why did each of the states write a constitution as soon as independence was declared
garik1379 [7]

Congress asked the 13 original colonies to form governments for themselves, so the colonies began writing and adopting new constitutions to become sovereign and independent states.  . However, the national government was weak and states functioned like independent countries. So, at the 1787 Constitutional Convention, delegates from the different states decided to a plan a stronger federal government with three branches (executive, legislative and judicial) all of equal power. As a result, the US Constitution was signed on September 17, 1787 in Philadelphia.

The standard meridian of Iraq is 48o E and the standard meridian of India is 82.5o
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

2 hours 18 minutes

Explanation:

The lines of longitude are imaginary lines running from the north pole to the south pole of earth. This lines of longitude can be used to approximate the time in a particular place. Also, when used with latitude, the exact position of a place can be located.

Since Iraq is at 48° E while India is at 82.5° E, hence:

Difference in longitude = 82.5° - 48° = 34.5°

1° difference = 4 min difference

Therefore the time difference = 34.5° * 4 min per ° = 138 min = 2 hours 18 minutes
