If there is no written designated agency relationship, a client of Meramac Realty has what kind of relationship with Meramac
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer: c. A nonagency relationship with everyone in the office.

Explanation:

For an agency relationship to exist in the eyes of the law, there must be a contract with a written designated agency relationship between the client and Meramac Realty.

With no such contract in existence, the law recognizes no agency relationship between Meramac and any of its affiliates with the client. There is therefore a non-agency relationship with everyone in Meramac.

#3: Face-to-face jobs in the health-care field can consist of nurses and doctors. They can be considered face-to-face because you interact with patients and various people and your work is hands on. Someone who is behind the scenes could be a receptionist at a doctors office or hospital or a medical biller. This can be considered a behind the scenes type job since it's non clinical and doesn't provide direct treatment, they simply help out the people that do provide direct treatment (face-to-face).
