Ideally, the drunk driver who hit them while he was driving on the wrong lane is liable for the damages and not McLaughlin since he was sober and civil.

Explanation:

Liability for damages resulting from car accident usually falls on a negligent driver an din this case, McLaughlin is not the negligent one.

However, the situation is tricky here since he is not the owner of the car.

The majority of car accidents are caused by driver negligence, poor road conditions, or a problem or defect with one of the automobiles involved.

If his friend has a car insurance, that will cover for the damages as well.

And if the drunk driver finds a way to escape with a strong case, and in the absence of a car insurance, McLaughlin might be obligated to pay for the damages since the car was borrowed.

Illusion [34]

Answer: D. introduction, growth, maturity, and decline.

Explanation: The life cycle of products are divided into for stages. And it is the entirety of the process wherein a product is brought to a market, grows in popularity and demand, and is then removed from the market as demand drops gradually to zero.

These stages include:

1. Introduction - is characterized by a low growth rate of sales as the product is newly launched. Demand is very low and consumers may not know much about the product.

2. Growth - the public becomes increasingly aware of the product; demand, sales and revenues begin to increase.

3. Maturity - sales gets to its peak. This is because the product reaches market saturation, and competition with other similar products grows increasingly fierce.

4. Decline - sales, growth, begins to shrivel up, profits decline, competition still remains high, and the product ultimately reaches its ‘death' and is recalled from the market or production stopped entirely.
