    a. Jim can claim Adam as a dependent

    Explanation:

    From the above Jim can claim Adam is a dependent since he provides more than half the support for Adam even though Adam earns a part time income of $6000. A common law state like the one Jim and Adam fall under here would have Adam be a dependent to Jim based on qualifications.
