Answer:

D). No, because the man was acting in self-defense.

Explanation:

In the given situation, the man would not be considered guilty of murdering the woman and this is because the action took place when was defending himself from the attacks made by that woman on him. However, the man was attempting to steal the sweater at the store yet the deadly attack made by the woman on his head with the baseball bat cannot be justified in any case. <u>Her act would be categorized under 'dangerous felony' and therefore, the use of a knife by the man was enforced on him to save himself</u>. Hence, <u>the action was in 'self-defense' and he will not be punished for it as it was the woman who initiated the physical violence and harm</u> and he just reacted. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Option C.

Explanation:

A <u>center left turn lane</u> is marked by two sets of double yellow lines, with each set having a broken line on the inside, and a solid line on the outside. White arrows appear in this lane as well.

It is a single lane that is used for cars that are turning left from either direction.

It is made in the middle of a road.

It is not a regular traffic lane or a passing lane.

A center left turn lane should only be used to make an immediate legal turn.

It is illegal to use the left turn lane to merge generally done by motorists.
