You are required to write either crime, civil, or both. I’m very confused.

Answer:
It's talking about how you would classify the situations, for example below.
Explanation:
1. Someone refuses to pay their city water bill
Would be a crime, since the only other party that suffers from this would be the goverment.
4. Would be civil, because of it being a noise complaint and not something to deal with the goverment or effecting them.
Hope that helps!
