Answer to Question 1

a.

Answer to Question 2

There is no clear right or wrong answer to this question. On the one hand, staying in at recess is a logical consequence for not completing classwork. On the other hand, recess would provide Nicole an opportunity to release pent-up energy and to interact with her classmates without censure.
