Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Molly's abusive statement is made in private to David, it may not be considered actionable. However, if Molly made the abusive statement in a public setting or in a message sent to others, it may be considered actionable. The other options are incorrect because whether the statements are false, damaging to reputation, or sent in an email does not affect whether they are actionable.
