What is the difference between original and appellate jurisdiction, and which type of jurisdiction does the supreme court have?

Original jurisdiction refers to a court's ability to hear a case before anyone else can review it. Appellate jurisdiction refers to the review of the proceedings done before a court with original jurisdiction. In short, this means that a court with appellate jurisdiction can review what the lower court has done to see if they did it right.

The Supreme Court is (mostly) a court of appellate jurisdiction. It has original jurisdiction if an ambassador or other foreign official is involved. Most often, the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction when states are fighting over water rights.

the correct answer is option c. elenita versus "early puerto rican decor" is the best example, out of all the options, of a cultural conflict. a cultural conflict is defined as what happens when different cultures, that have different values and believes, clash. elenita not liking or accepting the puerto rican style of decoration, would represent that she does not identify herself with the puerto rican culture, therefore does not want to have decorations influenced by that culture.
