The correct answer to whether the statement <em>"Indicators are definite signs that abuse or neglect has taken place"</em> is true or false is false.
An indicator is a <em>trend or fact</em> that<em> indicates</em> the state or level of something - in this case, indicators <em>would be the definite signs </em>that abuse or neglect had taken place. However, if considering the verb <em>"to indicate"</em>, which means <em>to point out or to</em> something or someone, it can be understood that indicators <em>only provide the directions</em>, or call someone's attention in those directions. Therefore, <em>indicators alone couldn't be definite signs</em>, something not doubtful. Definite signs would have to <em>prove with data or documented facts</em> that abuse or neglect has taken place. Indicators alone <em>can't prove</em> the state or level of something, like abuse or neglect, but <em>only point in their direction</em>. Hence, the answer is <em>false.</em>
