Answer 1

After losing a case in an Ohio trial court, Johnny would appeal to the court represented by Box C in the flowchart, analogous to the federal judicial system's next step, the circuit courts or U.S. courts of appeals.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Johnny loses his case in an Ohio trial court and wishes to appeal his decision, the next court he would request to hear his case, according to the provided flowchart would be Box C. Since this flowchart represents a system where Box A is the initial stage at the bottom on the left side, followed by Box B, and then Box C. Box C then flows into Box D which is the highest point and likely represents the final court of appeals in the diagram. In the real-world analogy concerning the federal judicial system, after a decision in the district courts, the next step is typically the circuit courts or U.S. courts of appeals, which is represented by Box C here. Therefore, the correct answer to which section of the diagram represents the next court Johnny could request to hear his case is C.
