Which option correctly lists the four parts of the Penal Law in the correct order?

• A. Part 1 - General Provisions; Part 2 - Sentences; Part 3 - Specific Offenses; Part 4 - Administrative Provisions
• B. Part 1 - General Provisions; Part 2 - Sentences; Part 3 - Administrative Provisions; Part 4 - Specific Offenses
• C. Part 1 - General Provisions; Part 2 - Court Procedures; Part 3 - Specific Offenses; Part 4 - Administrative Provisions
• D. Part 1 - General Provisions; Part 2 - Sentences; Part 3 - Specific Offenses; Part 4 - Court Procedures

Answer: (A)

The four parts of the Penal Law are arranged in this order to flow from broad framework to specific rules: General Provisions first, which sets definitions and the scope of the law; then Sentences, which outlines the penalties and sentencing guidelines; next Specific Offenses, which lists crimes and their elements; and finally Administrative Provisions, which covers the administrative rules and procedures related to enforcing and applying the law. This structure helps you navigate from foundational terms to concrete offenses and the rules that govern enforcement. The other options mix in different topics (like Court Procedures) or rearrange the later parts, which does not match the established sequence.
