Which description defines 'Asked and Answered'?

• A. The question has already been asked and it was answered the first time it was asked.
• B. A witness to guess.
• C. A belief or view.
• D. Not closely connected to the topic.

Answer: (A)

Asked and answered describes a situation in court where the same question has already been asked and the witness has already provided an answer, so asking it again would not elicit new information and can waste time or pressure the witness. This concept helps keep questioning efficient and focused on fresh issues. The other descriptions don’t fit: guessing what a witness thinks, holding a belief or view, or a question not related to the topic all describe different ideas and not the repetition of a previously answered question.
