Question

1. toman used a full three - minute video for his powerpoint presentation to emphasize the point he was making in his persuasive speech. when his teacher criticized him for violating fair use, toman argued that he was within fair use laws. why was tomari incorrect?

because fair use does not apply to educational environments or projects

because only a small amount of a copyrighted work can be used, not the whole work

because copyrighted works cannot be used in student work that will be graded

because the video fell within the public domain, not under fair use rules

Explanation:

To determine why Toman was incorrect, we analyze fair use rules. Fair use allows limited use of copyrighted material, often a small portion (not the whole work) for purposes like education. Toman used a full three - minute video, violating the "small amount" aspect of fair use.

• Option 1: Fair use does apply to educational environments, so this is wrong.
• Option 2: Copyrighted works can be used in student work (with fair use), so this is wrong.
• Option 3: This matches the fair use principle of using a small amount, not the whole work.
• Option 4: The video is under copyright (not public domain), so this is wrong.

Answer:

The option "because only a small amount of a copyrighted work can be used, not the whole work" (the third option from the top)
