1. Of the following signs the alphabetic sign is not a type of hieroglyphic sign. Hieroglyphic signs are sings used in pictographic scripts that are usually recognizable pictures of things they present. Hieroglyphic writing originated in Egypt and was considered as the sacred writing.

2. Officials whose jobs are not provided for in the constitution but are required by law are known as statutory officials. A statutory official is a body set up by law authorized to enact legislation on behalf of the relevant country or state that have British style of parliamentary democracy (such as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and India).

3. The correct answer is trespassing. As misdemeanor crime is considered any "lesser" criminal act in some common law legal systems. Misdemeanor crimes are usually punished with monetary fines and loss of certain privileges (professional licenses, public offices, or public employment).

4. Martin Luther King Jr. was a leader who practiced nonviolent civil disobedience method of conflict resolution inspired by Mohandas Gandhi, known also as Mahatma (“The great soul”), the leader of Indian independence movement in 1930s and 1940s. His protest facing British colonist was non-violent, fought with only rousing speeches.

5. The correct answer is True. The state Supreme Court is the ultimate judicial tribunal in the court system of a particular state which exclusively hears appeals of legal issues, like most of the appellate tribunals. Appeal is a privilege provided by statute in 47 states and in federal judicial proceedings.

6. In this example, Clyde is best described as an unruly child because he doesn’t obey parents/guardians and teachers (endangering his own health and morals) and disobeys the law. Missing 30 days of school without medical excuse is disobeying set school laws and implies on lack of discipline and turbulent behavior.

7. The arraignment takes place in the phase of preliminary trial (or pre-trial) of the criminal justice process. The preliminary trial is the phase which allows the prosecutor and the defense team to appear before a criminal court judge and make arguments of which evidence should be kept out of the trial, which persons must or cannot testify, or which case should be dismissed altogether.

8. Of the following are possible consequences for a juvenile determined to be at fault in the juvenile justice system are fines and supervision. Juvenile courts have a wide range of sentencing options from paying fines to Youth protection and custody order depending on age and crimes (which are not same as the adult crimes).

9. Appeal is not a trial procedure. Trial is formal examination of evidence by a judge or by jury, in order to decide guilt of defendant. Trial procedure includes jury selection, evidence issues, opening statements, cross-examination of witnesses, closing argument, jury deliberations and sentencing.
