In the Maple Hill school district, a Five-Day Suspension occurs when a student is not permitted to attend school for five days for (1) physically assaulting another student, a teacher, or a school employee or (2) willfully destructing or defacing school property. Which situation below is the best example of a Five-Day Suspension?

Difficulty: Easy

Lillian gets caught cheating on a math test for the second time and is suspended from school.
Marc is asked to leave the classroom due to his constant disruptions.
Franny uses spray paint to write derogatory comments on the locker room wall and she is given a suspension.
Ms. Farmer tells her class that students who fail the midterm exam will be expected to stay after school for tutoring help.

Correct Answer: Franny uses spray paint to write derogatory comments on the locker room wall and she is given a suspension.

Explanation:

Given data

Five-day suspension triggers (per policy): assault or willful destruction/defacement of property.

Concept/Approach
Match the option that explicitly meets a listed trigger.

Step-by-step reasoning
(A) Cheating is academic dishonesty, not one of the two specified triggers.(B) Removal from class ≠ five-day suspension for the enumerated causes.(C) Spray-painting derogatory comments = willful defacement → policy trigger satisfied.(D) Tutoring is remediation, not discipline.

Verification/Alternative
The phrase 'willfully destructing or defacing school property' matches (C) exactly.

Common pitfalls

Assuming any suspension equals this policy; the cause matters.

Final Answer
Franny's defacement qualifies for a five-day suspension.
