When a person is found guilty of two or more criminal acts and given a “consecutive sentence,” it means: A. They must serve their sentences at the same time.
B. They must serve their sentences one after another, not at the same time.
C. They must serve their sentences on probation.
D. They must serve their sentences concurrently.
The correct answer is: B. They must serve their sentences one after another, not at the same time.
Explanation: A consecutive sentence means that when a person is sentenced for multiple crimes, they will serve each sentence one after the other. For example, if someone receives a 5-year sentence for one crime and a 3-year sentence for another, they would serve a total of 8 years, with the second sentence starting only after the first one has been completed.
