Answer:

B) The excitement of the accident and the speedy response of the rescuer would be considered in a case such as this.

Explanation:

D) is incorrect; the driver would have a defense if he could demonstrate that the rescuer's actions were reckless.

(A) is incorrect because, while the court can conclude that the rescuer recklessly put himself in danger, this is not an absolute defense.

(C) is an incorrect statement of law; assumption of risk may be applicable, depending on the circumstances, such as if the rescue were reckless.

Bingel [31]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The first reason why he shouldn't be convicted of larceny is the fact that he took the car with the permission of the owner.

Tanya is a teacher in an area where the majority of the students live below the poverty line. Many of the kids come to school wi
Anarel [89]

Answer:    Physiological needs

Explanation:  Given that these are children who did not have breakfast before arriving at school and who have difficulty focusing on what Tanya is teaching until after lunch, this is about physiological needs. When students are finally able to eat and become capable of normal student activities, which is normal follow-up, it means that they have met the basic physiological needs required for normal functioning. These are not any self-actualisation or, for example, safety needs, all these other needs come only after the physiological needs have been met, and those needs include also sleep, for example.
