Under the American legal system, remedies are either ________________ or ________________.
  1. Monetary; non-monetary.
  2. Damages; awards.
  3. Legal; equitable.
  4. Civil; criminal.
Explanation
Answer: C - Legal; equitable. A legal remedy (or a remedy at law) usually involves an award of monetary damages and prevents obtaining equitable relief. An equitable remedy is a non-monetary remedy that is awarded when monetary damages will not redress the injury (e.g., an injunction or specific performance). Black’s Law Dictionary 598-9 (2d Pocket Ed. 2001). Answer C is a better choice than Answer A because Answer C uses the appropriate legal terminology.
