1. ““The only motion for judgment of nonsuit to be considered is that made at the close of all the evidence. G.S. 1-183. In determining its sufficiency for submission to the jury, the evidence, whether offered by plaintiffs or by defendant, must be considered in the light most favorable to plaintiffs. Murray v. Wyatt, 245 N.C. 123, 128 , 95 S.E. 2d 541 ; Eason v. Grimsley, 255 N.C. 494, 496 , 121 S.E. 2d 885 . True, the court may consider evidence offered by defendant that 'tends to clarify or explain evidence offered by plaintiff not inconsistent therewith, but it must ignore that which tends to establish another and different state of facts or which tends to contradict or impeach the testimony presented by plaintiff. (Citations.) Otherwise, consideration would not be in the light most favorable to plaintiff. (Citations.)’ Watters v. Parrish, 252 N.C. 787, 795 , 115 S.E. 2d 1 .””
