1. **Answer: D. a law that barred stores from selling violent video games to minors**

- This question pertains to a specific U.S. Supreme Court ruling. The correct answer aligns with known Supreme Court decisions that struck down laws regulating the sale of violent video games to minors on the basis of free speech rights.

2. **Answer: C. Teens are smart enough to know the difference between real life and fantasy.**

- This argument suggests that despite playing violent video games, teens can distinguish these fictional scenarios from reality, implying a reason why they should be allowed to play such games.

3. **Answer: A. She was most likely upset about the ruling.**

- If the passage talks about the effects of violent video games being negative (increased desensitization, aggressive thoughts, etc.), it's reasonable to conclude that Melissa Henson, who likely supports regulation based on these negative effects, would be upset about a ruling that struck down such regulation.

4. **Answer: B. loss of sensitivity**

- Desensitization in this context refers to the reduction in emotional sensitivity to violence, often as a result of frequent exposure to violent content. This can lead to a diminished emotional response to violence, which is a loss of sensitivity.
