Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The First Amendment provides the right to freedom of speech as long as what is said does not disrupt the class or infringe on the rights of other students. In this case, the student who monopolizes discussion is violating the right of free expression by others in the class.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees due process to the student. The learner has the right to defend oneself if charged with a violation of program policy or rules.
