Answer to Question 1

D
The fastest growing segment of the homeless population is families with children. This includes complete nuclear families and single-parent families. Families with children account for 36 of the homeless population.

Answer to Question 2

A
A misdemeanor is a less serious crime that has a penalty of a fine or imprisonment for less than 1 year. An example is misuse of a controlled substance by a nurse. Negligence is conduct that falls below a standard of care. Violation of a criminal law is either a felony or misdemeanor.
