let's go through each question and find the correct or incorrect statement as
appropriate for each:
**Question 1:**
Incorrect Statement: a. "It is not common cause that in the rule most frequently finds
its application, the devolution of the deceased’s property onto the male heir involves
concomitant duty of support."
- Explanation: This statement is a double-negative and incorrect because it contradicts
the notion established in customary inheritance, where the male heir does have a duty
of support.

Incorrect Statement: d. "In applying indigenous law, it is important to bear in mind that,
like the common law, indigenous law is also written."
- Explanation: Indigenous law is traditionally unwritten and evolves with the customs

**Question 3:**
Correct Statement: c. "The true nature of customary law is as a living body of law,
active and dynamic, with an inherent capacity to evolve in keeping with the changing
lives of the people whom it governs."
- Explanation: This correctly reflects the dynamic and adaptive nature of customary
