1. Which one of the following statements is an example of hearsay?

Hello.
I agree with A.
Yes A is correct!!! Good job 😊
To check if your answer is correct, we need to understand what hearsay is. Hearsay refers to a statement made by someone other than the person testifying about the statement. It is an out-of-court statement offered to prove the truth of the matter being asserted.
Now let's analyze the answer choices:
A. "The report said the patient died on January 15." - This statement is indeed an example of hearsay, as it is an out-of-court statement that the patient died.
B. "The report was on my desk when I arrived for work." - This statement does not involve any direct claim or assertion and does not fall under the category of hearsay.
C. "I checked the patient's blood pressure three times." - This statement is a firsthand account and not hearsay since the person making the statement is directly stating their own actions.
D. "I saw the doctor administer the injection." - This statement is also a firsthand account and not hearsay as the person making the statement directly witnessed the event.
Based on this analysis, your answer of A is correct. It is the only statement that fits the definition of hearsay. Well done!
