Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a direct examination because Floyd is a witness for the plaintiff and is being questioned by the plaintiff's attorney. Cross-examination would occur if Eateries' attorney questioned Floyd, and an interrogatory and request for admissions are written requests for information and not conducted during a trial.
