Answer:

B) duress.

Explanation:

"Duress" refers to the exercise of unlawful pressure by one individual upon another in order to coerce such person to act in such a way which he ordinarily will not.

Duress and undue influence are two terms that appear synonymous but actually differ. Under the latter, the act of coercion is carried out by an individual who held something in trust for other. Under duress, there exists a threat to harm, which is not necessarily true in case of undue influence.

In the given case, after Marty's house was burnt, the insurance adjuster instead of approving her claim, rather accused him of burning the house and further threatened him with criminal prosecution, if the former did not agree to much lower claim.  

In this case, Marty may rescind such previously agreed settlement on the grounds of  duress wherein, the insurance adjuster coerced and threatened him for such settlement and forcibly changed his action with the motive of deriving personal gains.

NeTakaya

Answer:

The answer is: E) It would not necessarily be considered high elsewhere

Explanation:

Usually the inflation rate in the US and Europe is around 1-3%. In the early 1980's the US inflation rate was above 10% so it was considered huge. But if you consider it against inflation rates in other countries, like Argentina for example, which currently has an annual inflation rate of over 60% then it wasn't that big. During the 1980's many countries suffered from hyperinflation, with monthly inflation rates of over 50%.

So the high inflation rate in the US and Europe wasn't necessarily high for other countries.

Advertising sales agents typically work under the direct supervision of a manager or supervisor.
wolverine [178]

Advertising sales agents typically work under the direct supervision of a manager or supervisor. True.

Initally, an advertising sales agent works under the direct supervision of a manager or supervisor. They are trained and coached by those who are experienced in the field. Once the sales agent has completed a set amount of hours (based on different agency requirements) they are no longer required to complete check-ins as often. These sales agents are then on their own most of the time by setting their own hours for work as long as they meet company goals.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

Gross Domestic Product is the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country during a given period of time. It is usually a year.

In calculating, GDP, we have expenditure approach, income approach and value-added approach.

In this question, the expenditure approach will be used to explain the answer to this question.

To calculate GDP using expenditure approach, the formula is:

C + I + G + (X-M)

where C is the consumers' spending

I is the investment spending

G is government spending

X is the exports

M is the imports.

The correct answer is C. firms purchases of inventories is part of investment spending. Firms can purchase raw materials(inventory) and process it into finished goods(inventory). The change in inventory(difference between the closing inventory and opening inventory) is part of the calculation of investment spending.

Households buying inventories(finished goods) is part of consumers' spending and not investment spending.
