Answer to Question 1

C
Suspected abuse or neglect cannot be ignored, and suspicion of abuse or neglect is sufficient to report suspected abuse to authorities. It is not your burden to prove

Answer to Question 2

B
Administrative law controls the operations of government, such as the National Labor Relations Board. Administrative law does not govern federal treaties, the conduct of judges, or the United States Supreme Court.
