(A) Precision


(B) Accuracy

Answer 1

The example you provided demonstrates (A) precision.

Precision refers to the clarity and specificity of the definitions and terms used, which in this case are explicitly detailed regarding landlord negligence under the Act. The text provides concrete and specific criteria that outline what constitutes landlord negligence, including references to various sections of the Rental Housing Act and the Criminal Procedures Act.

Accuracy, on the other hand, refers to how correct or true something is in context. While precision can contribute to accuracy, the information must also be factually correct to be considered accurate. In this scenario, you are primarily highlighting the specific details provided in the legal definition, which indicates high precision.
