The research on this subject did not surprise me at all!  67% of Men are confrontational and get violent if an individual does not agree with them or see his side of the issue.  I have dealt with men in my life who start to yell and belittle me if I have not agreed with their perspective.  Using the aforementioned tools, they try to subjugate one's mind by manipulation, fear, and coercion.

Civil law primarily deals with which of the following?
olganol [36]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

It can't be A because civil does not mean constitutional

It can't be C because that sounds more like a criminal trial

It can't be D as well, that's corruption/not doing your job correctly

It has to be B as well, civil means citizens (relating to ordinary citizens and their concerns, as distinct from military or ecclesiastical matters - Oxford Dictionary) and B is "disputes between individuals or organizations". Citizens can also be individuals or organizations. We can fact check this via Wikipedia, as they state "Civil law is a major branch of the law. In common law legal systems such as England and Wales and the United States, the term refers to non-criminal law." (Source: Wikipedia, Page: Civil law (common law)). Civil also means non-criminal.
