Teacher: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.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: "Such actions do not reflect the kind of considered judgment 'grounded in social, economic, and political policy'" that the discretionary function exception shields "from 'judicial "second guessing."'" Id. (quoting Varig Airlines, 467 U.S. at 814, 104 S.Ct. 2755). The same must be said with respect to SSgt. Raventos' alleged negligence. It simply goes too far to hold that his decisions to hoist the obstacle's plank ont tionary function exception applies "is not whether there is any discretion at all, but whether the discretion is grounded in the policy of the regulatory regime," the proper analysis looks to "whether the decision is fraught with economic, political, or social judgments." Cope v. Scott, 45 F.3d 445, 449-50 (D.C.Cir.1995) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted) (<HOLDING>); see also Boyd v. United States, 881 F.2d 895,
