Answer:he can under the substantial factor test.

Explanation:

The “Substantial Factor” test

This test is used to determine if there is a proximate cause for a damage or injury caused.

The court will evaluate the defendant actions in order to see if there is a justifiable reason relevant to what the defendant did which resulted to the injury .

Any materially contribution to harm is a substantial factor because a logical person will evaluate their actions and recognise those which will cause negative impact or harm .

If this one fire which burned the plant was the one initially started by Homer then that is a substantial factor which allows Mr Burns to sue Homer for negligence because eventhough they all started the fire but only one of it burned the plant .

Five-year-old Randy is in preschool, and his teacher is trying to show him how to use a pair of children’s scissors to cut paper
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Initiative v. Guilt

Explanation:

According to my research on Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, I can say that based on the information provided within the question Randy is demonstrating the stage known as Initiative v. Guilt. This is the third stage, in which children become more assertive, and develop a sense of initiative and leadership skill if allowed to assert themselves. Which is what Randy is doing when he asserts himself and says he wants to use the scissors by himself.

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

You are in a ship in deep water offshore from a large island. There is a heavy swell from the northeast and the island is to the
loris [4]

Answer:

Swim toward the island; the waves aren't going to take you anywhere  

Explanation:

A swell in the ocean or in water is a series of waves that are caused by the wind currents across the water surface. It needs a large surface of water to develop a swell. It propagates at the interface between the air and the water surface.

A swell is formed by the wind strength over time and distance.  

In the given context, when the ship capsizes because of the swell coming from the northeast direction and there is a island at the southwest direction, I quickly need to swim towards the island because the waves will not carry me to the island instead it will force me deep into the ocean beneath its strong waves. Therefore, I need to swim towards the island as fast as possible.

Hence the answer is ---

Swim toward the island; the waves aren't going to take you anywhere
