1 behavior: "Behavior" is the manner in which someone or something acts. In the dialogue between Bob and Susie, Susie is complaining about Jean's behavior. In this exercise, Johnny was famous for his bad behavior. Examples of Johnny's bad behavior include: hair pulling, pencil throwing and lunch eating.
2 guidelines: A "guideline" is a sort of rule or regulation which has been established by an organization (in this case it is Little Johnny's class). Companies often have guidelines which establish certain rules of conduct in the workplace. It is the best choice in this construction, as it expresses that little Johnny did not follow the rules of the school.
3 boundaries: A "boundary" is a "limit" or theoretical line that marks a limit or division. A boundary can be physical or geographical (the boundary between France and Belgium) or interpersonal (the boundaries between the boss and the employees). It is the best choice here, as it expresses that little Johnny didn't respect the proper distance or limits between him and his classmates.
