Cevap

Explicit written powers map to Express Authority; unwritten necessary tasks map to Implied Authority; leaving materials with a terminated agent maps to Apparent Authority; holding premiums in trust maps to Fiduciary Duty.
The matches correctly align factual scenarios with their legal definitions under agency law. Express authority is written, implied authority is unwritten but necessary, apparent authority is based on third-party perception caused by the principal, and fiduciary duty involves financial trust.
