Question: 1 / 400

Forgery is the falsely making or materially altering of any _____________ or ______________, with the intent to defraud, deceive or injure another.

Instrument, article

Forgery is the act of falsely making or materially altering an instrument or article in order to defraud, deceive, or injure someone. The other options, while related to the concept of forgery, do not accurately fit the definition. A document or record may contain false information or be altered, but it is not necessarily done with the intent to defraud. Similarly, a check or signature may be forged, but they may not necessarily be considered an instrument or article. A statement or transaction, on the other hand, may be falsified, but they do not fit the specific criteria of an instrument or article. Therefore, A is the most accurate and appropriate choice.
