Answer 1

The correct answers are, the first blank is C) the fifth Amendment. The second blank is A) nonprofit. The third blank is B) is less than the fair market value of the land.

The Fifth Amendment allows the state government to take the property as long as it is used for nonprofit purposes.

Mike can still dispute the government’s offer if the compensation is less than the fair market value of the land.

When the government needs portions of land that are private property to construct infrastructure for the benefit of the community, it can acquire the land using the "due process of law." In this case, the government has to pay a fair market price for the property. If the owner feels the price is not right for its property, it can go to court to start a dispute.

The C.)Fifth Amendment allows the state government to take the property as long as it is used c.) to benefit the public.

Mike can still dispute the government’s offer if the compensation B.)is less than the fair market value of the land.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Fifth Amendment addresses the process in which the federal and state governments can acquire private property in order to convert it into public use, also known as Eminent Domain. The amendment states the following:

No person shall be (...) deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

In the example, if the government were to acquire Mike's property and Mike didn't agree with the compensation offered by the government, he could dispute the government’s offer only if the compensation for his property is unjust, that is to say, if it's less than the fair market value of the land.
