HELP these questions are too similar what is the difference

1: B.

2: B.

Explanation:

Let's have another look at the options to clarify, and use the process of elimination.

1.

A. The reason why this response is incorrect is a bit more complicated than the others. If the boy was 13, he could legally consent to sex with another person as long as they are between 13-17. Says the ASPE, "Individuals who are at least 13 years of age can legally engage in sexual activities if the defendant is less than 4 years older than the victim". However, since the boy is only 12, he cannot legally consent.

C. Not saying "no" does not grant consent. The person in question must specifically say "yes" to give consent.

D. A 13 year old girl cannot legally grant consent to a 20 year old. The age of consent in America and most other countries is 18, meaning anyone under 18 cannot grant consent to anyone who is 18 and older.

2.

A. Saying "no" out loud does not grant consent. The boy is clearly refusing. Also, he is only 11, so he could not consent anyway.

C. This answer would depend on context, like how intoxicated the girl is and whether she approached someone or someone approached her, etc. However, considering there is a more applicable answer, like B,  it is safe to rule C out.

D. Once again, someone under the age of 18 cannot grant consent to anyone 18 and older.
