To determine the correct answer for both questions, we can go through a process of elimination and understanding the concepts involved.
1. The question asks about a taboo that is nearly universal across cultures. While murder and can also be considered taboos, incest is generally considered a more universally taboo subject across different cultures. Therefore, the answer would be (D) incest.
2. "Common law" refers to a legal system where the law is based on judicial decisions and precedents rather than statutes or written codes. Option (D) states that common law refers to judicial decisions that have not been enacted by legislatures or embodied in the Constitution, and this accurately describes the concept of common law. Therefore, the answer is (D) in this case as well.
To arrive at these answers, it is important to have a basic understanding of different cultures' values and norms for question 1, and a grasp of the concept of common law for question 2.
