Solutions

Expert Solution

ANS 1. OPTION C IS THE CORRECT ANSWER.

PERSONAL PROPERTY IS ANYTHING, EXCEPT LAND, WHICH THAT IS OWNED BY AN INDIVIDUAL. IN THIS CASE THE PLANTS THAT MOLLIE HAS BECOMES HER PROPERTY WHEN SHE BUYS THEM FROM A NURSERY AND THEY ARE NOT ATTACHED TO LAND NOW AND THEN SELLS THEM AS HER PROPERTY. THEREFORE IT IS A PERSONAL PROPERTY.

ANS 2. IN THIS CASE THERE CAN BE TWO POSSIBILITIES OF THE SOLUTION. OPTION A AND C BOTH CAN BE THE CORRECT ANSWER. REASONS FOR BOTH ARE MENTIONED BELOW:

OPTION A CAN BE CORRECT BECAUSE THE RATE OF INTEREST IS VERY HIGH WHICH IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE CHARGED. BUT SINCE THERE IS NO MARKET RATE GIVEN IN THE STATEMENT FROM WHERE WE CAN COMPARE AND SAY THAT THE RATE IS USURY. THEREFORE IT COULD BE THE ANSWER BUT NOT DEFINITE.

OPTION C CAN BE CORRECT OPTION BECAUSE NO SUCH PROVISIONS ARE MENTIONED IN THE CONTRACT WHICH SHOWS THAT LENDER WILL NOT SUE GENE IF HE IS UNABLE TO PAY THE MONEY BACK. THEREFORE LENDER HAS FULL FREEDOM TO SUE GENE. SO IT COULD BE THE ANSWER ALSO.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants effectively capture energy from the sun and store it for later use by organisms. It's the fundamental process that enables the entire food chain. Actual photosynthesis is a highly complex process involving many steps and many different chemicals, but we can get an idea of what's happening to thermodynamic quantities (enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, and entropy) using simpler reactions. Let's consider a toy model in which an input of energy (for example from...
