Answer
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/ApproachMatch 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/AlternativeThe phrase 'willfully destructing or defacing school property' matches (C) exactly.
Common pitfalls
