Rule 1001 provides definitions for what terms?

• A. Statements and Declarations
• B. Originals and Duplicates
• C. Writings and Recordings
• D. Depositions and Transcripts

Answer: (B)

Rule 1001 defines terms used across the Evidence Rules, specifically what counts as an original and what counts as a duplicate. Knowing these definitions helps determine when a copy can stand in for the original for admissibility and other purposes. Among the options, the pair that Rule 1001 actually defines as related terms is originals and duplicates, which is why that choice is the best fit. While the rule also covers writings and recordings, the question targets the two terms linked together by the definitional provisions, namely original and duplicate.
