Question

Which option best completes the diagram? A. The teen argues that speech by juveniles is always protected B. The teen argues that the actor is a public figure. C. The actor argues that the website is libel. D. The actor argues that the website is broadcast speech.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:**B. The teen argues that the actor is a public figure.**### Explanation:In cases involving defamation or libel, public figures (such as movie actors) are held to a higher standard when claiming harm from speech. To win such a case, the public figure must prove "actual malice," meaning the statement was made with knowledge of its falsity or reckless disregard for the truth. By arguing that the actor is a public figure, the teen strengthens their defense under free speech protections, which ultimately leads to the judge ruling that the website is protected speech.
