Cevap

Written agreement matches with Express Authority. Customary acts match with Implied Authority. Leaving materials with a terminated agent matches with Apparent Authority. Informing the agent matches with Imputed Knowledge.
Each scenario accurately reflects a core pillar of agency law: explicit contractual grants establish express authority, unwritten but necessary functional acts create implied authority, principal negligence leading to public assumption creates apparent authority, and communication given to an agent acting for the principal creates imputed knowledge.
