Aman is sentenced to five years in prison for walking across his neighbor's lawn. in this example, we can say that the punishment is disproportionate to the crime. appropriate to the crime. not severe enough for the crime. along the lines of what the founders had in mind.

The correct answer is A.

The punishment is totally disproportionate to the crime. Nobody should spend five years in prison for walking across the neighbors' lawn. This should not even be considered a crime but barely an offence, not severe enough to even call the police and report this as a breakage of law.

Such disputes should be sorted between the involved parties themselves, without any law enforcement agencies.

Five years in prison is a sentence for attempted murder or a severe felony,  such as armed robbery.

the earth’s crust is broken into separate pieces called tectonic plates (fig. 7.14). recall that the crust is the solid, rocky, outer shell of the planet. it is composed of two distinctly different types of material: the less-dense continental crust and the more-dense oceanic crust. both types of crust rest atop solid, upper mantle material. the upper mantle, in turn, floats on a denser layer of lower mantle that is much like thick molten tar.

each tectonic plate is free-floating and can move independently. earthquakes and volcanoes are the direct result of the movement of tectonic plates at fault lines. the term fault is used to describe the boundary between tectonic plates. most of the earthquakes and volcanoes around the pacific ocean basin—a pattern known as the “ring of fire”—are due to the movement of tectonic plates in this region. other observable results of short-term plate movement include the gradual widening of the great rift lakes in eastern africa and the rising of the himalayan mountain range. the motion of plates can be described in four general patterns:

collision: when two continental plates are shoved together

subduction: when one plate plunges beneath another (fig. 7.15)

spreading: when two plates are pushed apart (fig. 7.15)

transform faulting: when two plates slide past each other (fig. 7.15)
