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.

So his Rule 404(b) argument is waived. See Ruben-stein v. State, 941 So.2d 735, 760 ( 87) (Miss.2006) (<HOLDING>). And by not objecting under Rule 404(b), his
