The cook, having taken several self-defense courses, was able to fend off the man’s attack. After being struck by the cook several times, the man dropped the knife and fell to the ground. The cook, angry at the assault, took the knife and stabbed the man, killing him instantly. Should the cook be convicted of murder?

Answer:she should be charged with second degree murder

Explanation:the man was no longer dangerous to her since he was lying down and the knife had fell down so this is voluntary manslaughter as the cook was driven by the emotions at the moment of being nearly killed. Even though beating the man as self defence can be justified however after the man fell and lost the knife that was the end of self defence ,killing him when a man is already lying down and defenceless can not be justified since it can be said that the cook was out of harms way when she killed the man.

Answer:

<em>The correct answer is A) An interest group is using symbolism to turn people away from a plan that lawmakers are considering.</em>

Explanation:

The example is a typical way for interests groups to promote their agenda and beliefs and rally support for their cause.

This is a realistic example of a campaign you might see, since Nuclear Power is still a very controversial topic. Whenever a nuclear power plant is proposed in a region, law makers try to promote as a way to create more jobs in an area and provide cheaper electricity.

But time and again, across America, we have seen communities and families campaigning against the building of power plants close to their homes. This is mostly due to the danger of a fallout, radiation leaking and a general sense of danger for children.

In this example, the interest group is trying to portray the danger to the environment and the citizens of the United States, because they believe that the energy policy is wrong and depends too much on expanding Nuclear power.

Vika [28.1K]

One assumption of the perfectly competitive model is free entry and exit. this assumption most directly leads to the implication that positive economic profit is only possible in the short run.

Profit is the difference between the return an economic agent earns from its output and the opportunity cost of its input. It equals total revenue minus total costs (including explicit and implicit costs).

Economic profit or loss is the difference between the revenue from the sale of output and the cost and opportunity cost of all inputs used. Opportunity cost and explicit cost are subtracted from earned revenue when calculating economic profit.

Crude divorce rate is the ratio of the number of divorces to the average population in a given year. Divorce-marriage ratio is the ratio of the number of divorces to the number of marriages in a given year. Refined divorce rate is the ratio of divorces to the number of married women. Divorce rate is the general term for all of these ratios.
