B

Answer to Question 2

Unpublished opinions may include valuable and important points of law. However, just because an opinion cannot be used as precedent does not mean it serves no purpose. An unpublished opinion, or even trial opinion, can be used as a guide to point you in the right direction for precedential cases you need to address to answer your legal issue, which you will see how to do later.
