In this task, you will be shown a prompt from a judicial decision and multiple holding statements derived from citations following text in a legal decision.  Holdings represent the governing legal rule when the law is applied to a particular set of facts. There are five answer choices for each citing text. The correct answer is the holding statement that corresponds to the citing text. You should write an incorrect option. Even though there exist multiple wrong answers, we only need a single wrong answer. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

The statute unambiguously prohibits any curtailment or limitation of an FmHA-indebted water association’s services resulting from municipal annexation or inclusion. This language indicates a congressional mandate that local governments not encroach upon the services provided by such associations, be that encroachment in the form of competing franchises, new or additional permit requirements, or similar means. To read a loophole into this absolute prohibition, as Madison would have us do, and allow a city to do via condemnation what it is forbidden by other means, would render nugatory the clear purpose of § 1926(b). See Moore Bayou Water Association, Inc. v. Town of Jonestown, 628 F.Supp. 1367 (N.D.Miss.1986) (<HOLDING>). Madison contends that this construction of

[Q]: was an independent contractor. As an experienced reporter, Friedman controlled the manner in which the article was written— including the selection of a topic, research plan, and sources — without any guidance from the Voice. Voice editors reviewed the article only after Friedman completed a draft, and the editors subsequently made few substantive changes. Moreover, the terms and conditions of Friedman’s employment provide compelling evidence of his independent status: he did not receive a regular salary and was only paid for articles the Voice decided to publish; did not have a contract; did not receive fringe benefits; did not have taxes withheld; did not maintain an office at the Voice; and was not listed on the masthead of the Voice as a staff writer. See Nelson, 626 F.Supp. at 978 (<HOLDING>). By contrast, the Chaikens have provided no
