Answer: The answer is specific. :)

Explanation: A crime of specific intent refers to a criminal offense that requires a deliberate and premeditated state of mind on the part of the accused. In this case, Samuel's act of cutting the brake lines of his neighbor's car shows that he intended to cause harm to his neighbor, and his actions were deliberate and premeditated. This level of intent makes it a specific intent crime, and Samuel can be charged accordingly.

The blank would be “specific”

It is correct, and I double checked.
