Expert Solution

B. Homeowner's insurance policy

REASON :

A homeowner's insurance policy covers damages arising from lawsuits filed by bodily injured and who sustained personal injuries. Bodily injured is injury caused to body and personal injury is slander, libel etc. A homeowner's policy would have covered Tom from defamation lawsuit that Jim filed.

Among these bits, the most significant (i.e. the leftmost) bit is for the sign (same as IEEE 754), the following 6 bits are for the biased exponent with the bias as 31, and the rest are for the significand. If the real number...
