your answer
the unlawful killing of a human with malice
common law
negligent
murder
misdemeanor

Explanation:

1. For the first question, conspiracy is an agreement between two or more people to commit an illegal act. Since Emily, Elijah and Ameer agreed to take the apple, it is conspiracy even if they didn't carry it out. Solicitation is urging someone to commit a crime. Attempted robbery requires an overt act towards taking property by force or threat, which didn't happen here.
2. For the third question, murder is defined as the unlawful killing of a human with malice. Common - law is a body of law, negligent refers to lack of due care not involving malice in the context of killing, and a misdemeanor is a less serious crime than a felony and not related to this definition of unlawful killing with malice.

Answer:

1. Conspiracy
2. (No response as the instruction doesn't ask for extra - credit answer)
3. Murder
