Answer 1

The reporter's right to free press is being restricted in parts 3 and 4 of the scenario. In part 3, the editor of the newspaper demands the reporter name his sources, which could potentially violate the reporter's ability to protect their sources and gather news. In part 4, the government official reviews the story and refuses to let the newspaper publish it, which directly restricts the reporter's right to publish information and exercise the freedom of the press. Therefore, the correct response is "3 and 4."
