Answer:

Slander.

Explanation:

In Nursing "tort" is a civil wrongful act which may harm or try to harm a person or property.

Torts are categorized as unintentional and intentional.

<u>Intentional torts are the violation of other's right either by degrading his/her name/character or assault. This is done knowingly to harm other's dignity. </u>

<u>Slander is the sub-category of intentional torts. Slandering means giving oral or verbal statement to defame other's character. </u>

<u>In the given question, the intentional tort of slander is violated. </u>

So, the correct answer is slander.

Libby, a sophomore at a small rural high school, has dreams of becoming a journalist. However, her school lacks the funding for
denis23 [38]

Answer:

The School Board says Libby and her friends released an unauthorized publication on school grounds.  Their defense should be "the whole program (including content, publication, and location) was discussed with and approved by her teacher (her primary interface with the school hierarchy)"  If there is any fault to be found, it falls on  a) the Teacher's head since she didn't advise Libby to seek permission from any other members in the hierarchy, and/or b) the hierarchy itself for not conveying the need to seek permission for thios type of program.  I'm sure other "publications" (artwork, themes, book reports, biographies, and so on) can be shown to set precedent for publications on school grounds without formal permissions.

Re First Ammendment Rights:  The description of documents in the ammendment clearly parallels the content of the newspaper. Per referenced source":     Criticism of the government and advocacy of unpopular ideas that people may find distasteful or against public policy are almost always permitted. Within these limited areas, other limitations on free speech balance rights to free speech and other rights, such as rights for authors and inventors over their works and discoveries (copyright and patent), protection from imminent or potential violence against particular persons (restrictions on fighting words), or the use of untruths to harm others (slander). Distinctions are often made between speech and other acts which may have symbolic significance.

Despite the exceptions, the legal protections of the First Amendment are some of the broadest of any industrialized nation, and remain a critical, and occasionally controversial, component of American jurisprudence.

spayn [35]

Answer:

A species accumulation curve that had leveled off

Explanation:

In sampling, access if the current sampling had adequately assessed the species diversity, species richness is plotted as a function of the sampling effort, that is, each data point on a species accumulation curve represents the total number of individuals and sampling effort up to that point. Species accumulation curves can help us determine when most or all of the species in a community have been observed. A species accumulation curve that had leveled off indicates that you had adequately sampled the species richness of a given community.
