Damages Before buying a house, Dean and Donna Testa hired Ground Systems, Inc. (GSI), to inspect and describe the sewage and water disposal system. GSI reported that a split sewage and water disposal system was in place with a watertight septic tank, a wastewater tank, a distribution box, and a leach field. The Testas bought the house. Later, Dean Testa noticed that the system was not as GSI described; there was no distribution box or leach field. Furthermore, there was only one tank, and the tank was not watertight. The Testas arranged for the installation of a new system and sold the house. Assuming that GSI is liable for a breach of contract, what is the measure of damages? 1. In this situation, the Testas contracted with GSI for

On a recent expedition to a remote region of northern canada, scientists uncovered skeletal remains from about 100,000 years ago. surprisingly, all the skeletal remains, which included many species from differing biological families and spanned about two thousand years, showed evidence of experiencing temperatures in excess of 1000 degrees fahrenheit (or 538 degrees celsius). which of the following, if true, best explains the apparent paradox between the cold environment and the evidence of the bones experiencing hot temperatures? (a) chemical changes that naturally occur during the process of decay in only one north canadian species produce the same evidence of the species' skeletons being exposed to hot temperatures as the expedition scientists found. (b) a little over 103,000 years ago, a large fire is known to have occurred in northern canada. (c) strong evidence exists that as early as 70,000 years ago, homo sapiens around the world relied heavily on fire to cook animals. (d) in the same expedition and in roughly the same layer of excavation, scientists found rudimentary wood cutting and hunting tools used by early humans.

Which of the following is a true statement? a. individuals evolve to have adaptations. b. individuals have adaptations that can change over time. c. individuals have traits that may or may not make them successful at reproduction. d. populations cant evolve, only individual organisms.
