Answer:

Slander.

Explanation:

In Nursing "tort" is a civil wrongful act which may harm or try to harm a person or property.

Torts are categorized as unintentional and intentional.

<u>Intentional torts are the violation of other's right either by degrading his/her name/character or assault. This is done knowingly to harm other's dignity. </u>

<u>Slander is the sub-category of intentional torts. Slandering means giving oral or verbal statement to defame other's character. </u>

<u>In the given question, the intentional tort of slander is violated. </u>

So, the correct answer is slander.

After a bill is introduced by a lawmaker, it goes directly to both houses for a vote.
Alchen [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

This is about Lesson 8, focusing on state (not federal) governments

McGraw Hill, United States Government: Our Democracy © 2018

"Regardless of who suggested or drafted a bill, it must be introduced by a member of the legislature. A bill can be introduced in either house, although many states require bills that raise revenue or spend tax dollars to be introduced in the lower house. The presiding officer sends the bill to the committee that specializes in the bill’s subject matter. The committee discusses the bill and may hold public hearings. During the public hearings, people who are interested in the issue may testify to the committee members.

The committee may rewrite the bill or modify it and then send it back to the full house with a recommendation to be passed or not passed. If one house passes a bill, it must go through a similar process in the other. Sometimes the second house changes a bill. In this case, a conference committee of both houses must meet to draft an acceptable version, on which both houses vote. If it is passed, it goes to the governor for signature or veto. Of bills that are introduced, fewer than one-quarter become law." (237)

Conducting An Experiment

The most appropriate research method will definitely be "conducting an experiment".
