  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Define administrative discretion as the authority of bureaucrats to select among various responses to a given problem.
2, Describe how the police officer could use administrative discretion to be lenient on small-time marijuana users. Rather than issuing a citation or arresting the user, the officer could instead issue a formal or informal warning or ignore the infraction altogether.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
