I disagree.
What does "speedy trial" mean?

bobpursley
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right<u> to a speedy and public</u> trial, <u> by an impartial jury </u> of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, <u>and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.</u>
So it provides by trial by jury, counsel, and a public trial. What happened to all of the above.
Perhaps you should read the sixth amendment to your teacher.

It has all the choices that I have in my question. what should i do now?
Reed
I have no idea what you should do. These quiz questions are poorly worded and the choices you are given are confusing at best. Is this an on-line course or a regular classroom? bobpursley is absolute correct in that the sixth amendment provides all of the above.
Amy
i'm taking an online course and i have to select one option in order to submit my exam.
Reed
A,B and C are correct. Check all three, or just one. Your confusion is justified, Amy. I don't think much of this course.
Amy
thank you so much for your help I really appreciate it.
Ms. Sue
Here's another opinion.
The question asks about the "speedy trial" provision." Is it possible that the right answer isn't listed -- making D the best choice?

You should bring a copy of the sixth amendment, and demand a speedy and public trial by your class peers, and to have counsel by your side. The future of the world belongs to those who insist not accepting that which is wrong.
Reed
Well, it does say "speedy and public trial," so maybe C is the "right" answer in this convoluted question.
Ms. Sue
Amy -- Please let us know the "right" answer.
Reed
Yes, please do. I'm very curious to see into the mind of whomever wrote this question and gave the options.
