Answer 1

To answer how the quotation from a prior case strengthens the ruling in Tinker, the correct response is:

by citing the precedent that Boards of Education must act within the Bill of Rights.

This emphasizes that the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment, including freedom of speech, apply to students in a school environment, thereby limiting the authority of school boards and reinforcing the Tinker decision.
