Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. Analyze each option:
   - Option 1: The passage states "the school must prove that it would'substantially and materially interfere' with the normal operation of a school" to restrict speech, so schools can regulate speech if it severely disrupts school functions. This is correct.
   - Option 2: The passage says "the armbands were a form of symbolic speech" and students' rights to expression exist on school property, so armbands (as symbolic speech) are protected. This option is incorrect.
   - Option 3: The ruling shows students have free - speech rights on school property, and schools can only restrict if there is real disruption, not prevent all political speech. This option is incorrect.
   - Option 4: The passage says "students' rights to expression don't end just because they are on school property", so students have a right to free speech even on school property. This is correct.
# Answer:
A. Schools can regulate student speech if it severely disrupts school functions.
D. Students have a right to free speech even when they are on school property.
