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. The four incorrect answers are other holding statements. You should find the correct option. There is a <HOLDING> token in the position of the citing text prompt where the holding statement was extracted.

[otherwise] a State could be placed in the impossible position of having to choose between compliance with 5 and compliance with the Equal Protection Clause"). And we conclude that a plan will be narrowly tailored to achieve that interest when the race-based action taken was reasonably necessary under a constitutional reading and application of the Act. See Miller v. Johnson, 515 U.S. 900, 921, 115 S.Ct. 2475, 2490-91, 132 L.Ed.2d 762 (1995); see also Shaw v.

Q: pages 7-34 to 7-66 and page F- 1 (the Table of Contents). Most of these enhancements are too trivial to be afforded copyright protection. Enhancements such as the coloration of the text (adding red print) are not copyrightable. See 37 C.F.R. 202.1(a); U.S. Copyright Office, Compendium II: Compendium of Copyright Office Practices 503.02(a) (1984) ("[M]ere coloration cannot support a copyright even though it may enhance the aesthetic appeal or commercial value of a work."). While the term "line art" is unclear, "mere variations of typographic ornamentation" are not subject to copyright protection. 37 C.F.R. 202.1(a). The table of contents does not have sufficient creativity to be protected either. See Matthew Bender & Co. v. West Publishing Co., 158 F.3d 674, 683-89 (2d Cir.1998) (<HOLDING>). Spilman also claims copyright protection for
