Example wrong choices
22053_christmas_tree_waste · REAL_PROPERTY · Choice ANo, because Daniel knew she was dumping there.
Why it's attractive
The stem says Daniel never gave permission — A treats his knowledge as though it were consent, reversing the legal effect of the awareness fact.

22053_christmas_tree_waste · REAL_PROPERTY · Choice BYes, because Esther did this for 35 holiday seasons.
Why it's attractive
35 seasons > 20-year statute is true. But prescriptive easement also requires the use to be continuous throughout — 'most seasons, not every year' fails that quality requirement.

22053_christmas_tree_waste · REAL_PROPERTY · Choice DYes, because Esther had no other place for the debris.
Why it's attractive
Esther's need is real but need alone creates no legal right. Necessity requires prior common ownership — none in the facts.
