Answer:    Voluntary manslaughter

Explanation:  Since the man found his wife with a neighbor during sex, not knowing beforehand that his wife was having an affair, it excludes the possibility that the man had planned the homicide beforehand. Another option is the unintentional, or accidental murder, so called involuntary manslaughter, where it would occur, for example, if the gun were fired accidentally, without the man's intention to kill the neighbor. This option is also ruled out because the man shot his neighbor with the intent to kill him.

So in this case, no murder was planned in advance, but upon seeing his wife's situation and affair with a neighbor, the man decided to kill the neighbor on the spot, so this is a voluntary manslaughter with murder.

dusya [7]

Answer:

If at the time of withdrawal the interest paid was $11,000, the beneficiary would be required to pay income tax on the same amount of $11,000.

Explanation:

The Interest Settlement Option is usually for people who don't need much money or the remedies which the Insurance Cover provides.

Sometimes they defer payment of the proceeds and collect interest on the same whilst they decide on what do do with the money.

When a beneficiary collects this sort of interest it is usually taxable.

How do our rights and responsibilities as citizens of the United States reflect what it means to be an American? Write a paragra
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Our rights and responsibilities as a citizen of the U.S. reflects what it means to be an american because we have rights that other countries don't have and that makes us semi-superior. Our responsibilities reflect because we have responsibilities that make us a U.S citizen and it proves that we belong to America. Our responsibilities are to support and defend our country and to obey the law. Our rights reflect because they make us who we are and prove to other people that we are not bad people. Our rights and responsibilities define us and america, we stick together.

Hope this helps!

Which question would best guide student research into effects of oil in Southwest Asia?
ZanzabumX [31]
I think that the key word here is "effects" - the study would be into effects of oil - so not other oil-related topics.


Because of this the correct answer is

<span>a. How does oil shape social, political, and economic conditions in southwest Asia?

here the word "shape" is a synonym to "create and influence" - so it's about the effect!</span>
