If anton is charged with a crime and is sued in a civil action, would the civil and criminal cases be tried together?

The correct answer is NO.

If Anton is charged with a crime and is sued in a civil action, the civil and criminal cases would NOT be tried together because civil law doesn't involve criminal matters and procedures in civil and criminal trials are very different.

d. i assume the underlined word is "role." reformat if it isn't.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."

this fits one of merriam-webster's definitions of role: "a function or part performed especially in a particular operation or process."
