Explanation:

1. Engel vs. Vitale is a well - known case regarding prayer in schools. The author likely uses it as an example of such a case rather than to definitively prove prayer should not be allowed. It doesn't define the Free Exercise Clause and isn't mainly about showing tension between the First Amendment and the Establishment Clause in this context.
2. Without further context about Justice Potter Stewart's argument, we can't be sure, but if the case of Engel vs. Vitale is being discussed, he may have relied on it to support his argument.
3. The main issue of prayer in schools is related to the use of religious language in a public context, similar to the use of religious language in a federal oath. The other options are not as directly related to the school - prayer issue.

Answer:

1. B. give one example of a case that considered prayer in schools.
2. B. Engel vs. Vitale
3. A. whether to use religious language in a federal oath
