The penalty for this violation is to award the opponents a throw in from the original spot, correct?? A1 was inbounding the ball under B's basket, and A1 was the first to touch ball inbounds. Therefore #80 on the test should be false.

Shont,
Where did the violation occur? Don't you take the ball out-of-bounds at the spot nearest the violation?

Good questions -- but to answer the first you need to know whether the violation is "A1 being the first to touch" OR is "A1 failing to throw the ball so it touches another player".

Leave it up to the FED to make a tricky question (one that could go either way)
I took it to be a throw in violation, thus the violation and the throw in would be at the original spot.
I used 9-2-2 or 9-2-6 for reference.
But then I look at the penalty and it states "following the violation the ball is awarded at the OOB spot nearest the violation."
Flip a coin?
(EDIT) I just looked in case book and its detailed so answer is False. I stand correct now.
Thanks
David
