Answer to Question 1

F

Answer to Question 2

The student should indicate that the term jurisdiction is defined as the power or authority of a court to hear and resolve a case. The student should discuss the fact that the U.S. district courts have exclusive jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases as they the only courts that may hear a particular type of case. The minimum number of bankruptcy courts required in each federal judicial district is one.
