Answer:

C.

Explanation:

In the given case, Olivia's behavior towards her puppy was modeled based on the behavior of her parents towards her.

Being a child, Olivia, through this scenario learned that a wrong act should be punished. And this behavior of her parents, she applied on her puppy who made a mess on the floor by kicking the puppy and putting it in the yard</u>.

So, the correct answer is option C.

The correct answer is C) Olivia is modeling the aggressive behavior her parents demonstrated to her.

The statement that explains her behavior toward the puppy is Olivia is modeling the aggressive behavior her parents demonstrated to her.

The problem with Olivia is that she is learning and modeling the aggression shown by her parents and is doing the same with her puppy. That is why so important that parents reflect on the kind of conduct they are showing and teaching to their children because kids learn very fast. If parents set a good example, the child is going to follow through. But if parents show an aggressive of bad conduct, the child is going to "absorb it" as well.

enot [183]

Answer:

The initiative is a power reserved to the voters to propose legislation, by petition, that would enact, amend or repeal a City Charter or Code provision.

Explanation:

- The right of (legislative) initiative is the constitutionally defined power to propose a new law (bill). The right of initiative is usually attributed to parliaments, which in most countries have the right to make law proposals, alone or sharing this right with the government.

- An initiative is the first in a series of actions. Initiative can also mean a personal quality that shows a willingness to get things done and take responsibility. An initiative is the start of something, with the hope that it will continue. Government and business start initiatives all the time.

- The process is termed INITIATIVE because the electorate can initiate legislation. ... The referendum also permits the Legislature itself to refer proposed legislation to the electorate for approval or rejection. The initiative and referendum processes guarantee Washington's electorate the right to legislate.
