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.

In light of this holding, we need not address the parties’ arguments concerning the district court’s additional grounds for granting DirecTV’s motion, that the phone calls were not "in or affecting commerce.” 4 .
