Each law consists of a potential case followed by a prescribed verdict. The verdicts could be very harsh indeed, and Columbia University professor Marc van de Mieroop notes in his book "King Hammurabi of Babylon" (Blackwell Publishing, 2005) that the death penalty is listed as punishment no fewer than 30 times. It was the punishment given even for “the theft of temple or palace property or when a runaway slave
is given refuge,” van de Mieroop writes.
Furthermore, the punishments ordered were by no means uniform but rather depended on the social status of the accused and the accuser. The punishments were only “eye for an eye” if the two individuals involved were socially equal.
Women could not necessarily expect equal treatment either. One law reads, “if a finger has been pointed at a man’s wife because of some male but she has not been caught copulating with another male, she shall leap into the River for the sake of her husband,” (translation by H. Dieter Viel).

Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": To reach the river, this path must be followed.
Explanation:
Dangling modifiers are phrases that confuse the grammatical order of a sentence. This usually arises when the subject of a first clause is hidden in the subsequent segment by using the passive voice of the sentence. Thus, the segment should be corrected by converting the sentence back to the active voice. In the example:
- <em>To reach the river, </em><u><em>this path must be followed</em></u>. (Dangling modifier)
Should be transformed into:
- <em>To reach the river, </em><u><em>you must follow this path</em></u><em>.</em> (Correct form of the sentence)
Answer:
Roma and Taylor.
Explanation:
Every person is liable for negligence performed by them. Taylor failed to appear in the court so Taylor is liable. Roma on the other hand was supervising Taylor which makes her liable as well for his negligent supervision of Taylor.
Other partner will not be liable as it is limited liability partnership.
<span>On one side it had the Nile which was difficult to cross if the Egyptians didn't want people to cross it. On two sides there was a desert and one the north there was the sea. If Egypt wanted to isolate itself or be defensive in a war it had no problems doing so. It could easily restrict access of foreign cultures.</span>
