Answer 1

D.) None of the above since Nancy is not licensed to practice law

Step-by-step explanation:

Nancy can't use her abilities to make money elsewhere. Nancy cannot give legal advice or representation since she is not licensed. Nancy cannot put names and dates on a pre-printed deed form, create a deed for her neighbor, or prepare a will for her mother-in-law. Nancy is unqualified to provide these legal services.
