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.

potentially to have lost contact with family, friends, or each other. But that consequence is not “serious harm” — and warning of such a consequence is not a “threat” — under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act. In applying the Act, we must distinguish between “Dimproper threats or coercion and permissible warnings of adverse but legitimate consequences.” United States v. Bradley, 390 F.3d 145, 151 (1st Cir.2004), judgment vacated on other grounds, 545 U.S. 1101, 125 S.Ct. 2543, 162 L.Ed.2d 271 (2005); cf. Dann, 652 F.3d at 1170 (Act aims at serious trafficking and threats of dire consequences). This case involves the latter. A church is entitled to stop associating with someone who abandons it. Paul v. Watchtower Bible & Tract Soc’y of N.Y., Inc., 819 F.2d 875, 883 (9th Cir.1987) (<HOLDING>). A church may also warn that it will stop

comprehensive plan nor its land use regulations prohibited the development of so-called non-jurisdictional wetlands. On August 17 or 18, 2006, Rish began to clear and fill his property. The neighbors, including Johnson, protested to the County, but to no avail. On August 21, 2006, these parties filed a complaint seeking in-junctive relief alleging that the clearing violated Gulf County’s comprehensive plan because it failed to maintain a 50-foot buffer for the wetlands. The neighbors alleged standing under section 163.3215(3), Florida Statutes (2006). The trial court dismissed the complaint ruling that Johnson and the other neighbors did not possess standing to seek relief under section 163.3215. This court reversed. Johnson v. Gulf County et al., 965 So.2d 298 (Fla. 1st DCA 2007) (<HOLDING>). Throughout this litigation, Rish proceeded to

to California to attend to her mother’s affairs. The debtor’s affairs are neglected in the process. Although the debtor neglects her own affairs, she intends months before to transfer funds from a stock to an annuity. Yet she waits until being sued and after consulting with a bankruptcy attorney to make the transfer. The transfer occurs one day prior to filing a bankruptcy petition. Upon filing bankruptcy, the hypothetical debtor lists the annuity as an exempt asset and discloses the untimely transfer. In fact, at the meeting of creditors she volunteers the information, including all records, names, and dates surrounding the transfer. Based on these facts, it is difficult to conclude that any court would find fraudulent intent. See In re Schwingler, 15 B.R. 291, 294-95 (W.D.Wis.1981) (<HOLDING>). Although part of her motivation when 
 Holding statements: (A) holding that an emergency petition by an insurance commissioner in her capacity as liquidator of an insurance company that was whollyowned by the debtor holding company was not an exercise of police and regulatory powers because it sought to take control of the debtors assets to allow certain policyholders and creditors to gain a pecuniary advantage over other creditors of the debtors estate (B) holding that the interest of the public  especially the debtor and creditors  could limit compensation to a debtors counsel (C) holding that the debtors false statements about the location of assets of the estate were material to the proceedings (D) holding that at least a part of the debtors motivation was to keep assets away from the creditors (E) holding that a bankruptcy courts jurisdiction does not diminish post confirmation if the debtor pursuant to a liquidating plan seeks to commence litigation to collect the debtors assets for the benefit of its creditors

Ex Output:
