Answer 1

The characteristic of general partnerships among the given options is:

**The partnership has limited life.**

In a general partnership, the partnership can be dissolved if one of the partners leaves or passes away, implying that it has a limited life.

The other options are incorrect because:

- Partners in a general partnership typically have unlimited liability, not limited liability.
- A general partnership consists of two or more owners (partners), not just one person.
- In a general partnership, each partner usually has equal rights in representing the partnership unless otherwise agreed upon in a partnership agreement.
