Answer:

C). Inadmissible, because the report is hearsay not within any exception.

Explanation:

As per the given details, the court must find the report 'inadmissible, and the key reason is that the report is hearsay which does not come under any exception.' <u>The court is permitted to accept a report of witness' statement only if the statement is made under oath or witness himself/herself confirms the statement in the court and the court is satisfied that the statement is reliable</u>. The other options are incorrect as they either misrepresent the way in which statement was acquired(option D) or due to inappropriately taken(without oath) i.e. stated in option A. While option B is false as the public records cannot be considered as business records and thereby, not reliable. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Which quotation reflects the perspective of most Georgia legislators in 1956 regarding the Georgia state flag?
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:D

Explanation: Per the quotes of the flag designer John Sammons Bell, the 1956 State Flag was created to honor the Veterans of Georgia who were passing away in huge numbers, and it was to be a memorial to them and their service. Other politicians who helped get the flag changed stated the Flag should be adopted because no other state suffered so much as did Georgia because of Sherman's scorched Earth policy of the burning of Atlanta and March to the Sea.

The Flag change also was part of the lead up to the Civil War centennial initiated by President Eisenhower.
