Pattern requirement for harassment is two or more acts over time evidencing continuity of purpose.

• A. A single act of intimidation
• B. One or more acts over a short period
• C. Two or more acts occurring over a period of time, however short, evidencing a continuity of purpose
• D. A recurring and non-threatening communication

Answer: (C)

Pattern for harassment is established when there are two or more acts over time that show continuity of purpose. This means it isn’t about a single incident, but about a sequence of actions tied together by an ongoing intent to harass. The time span between acts can be short, as long as there are at least two acts and they demonstrate a persistent pattern rather than isolated events. The other options fall short because a single act doesn’t form a pattern, and phrasing about “one or more acts” or focusing on non-threatening communications doesn’t capture the requirement of multiple acts demonstrating continuing intent.
