Which of these is a modality of culpa (negligent fault) under Article 18, II of the Penal Code?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Imprudence, negligence or lack of professional skill (imperícia)
- Step 1: Article 18, II, says the crime is culposo when the agent causes the result by imprudence, negligence or imperícia. Step 2. The other options concern intent or planning. Answer: Imprudence, negligence or lack of professional skill (imperícia). Why not the others: direct and eventual intent are forms of dolo, and premeditation is not a modality of culpa.
