Bill and Jessica are almost done taking turns to choose the players for their teams. It was Jessica's turn to
choose, and Kurt was the only person left. Jessica called Kurt's name. We can infer that:
A. Kurt is not a very good player.
B. Kurt is on Bill's team.
C. Jessica was inconsiderate of Kurt's feelings.
D. Bill, Jessica, Kurt and the other players are playing basketball.
E. Kurt is mean.

A. Kurt is not a very good player.

Explanation:

Usually in team games where players get to select their teammates, people first pick those who excel at the game/sport because it means that there is a higher chance that they will win.

Here, we note that Kurt is the last player to be picked, which must mean he's not one of the top players, so A is correct.

B is incorrect because obviously Jessica "called Kurt's name" for him to be on her team.

C is incorrect because nowhere does it indicate that Kurt felt hurt or that Jessica was being mean.

D is incorrect because the passage doesn't indicate anything about basketball; it could have been a game of dodgeball.

E is incorrect because, just like C, there's no indication that people think Kurt is mean.

A. Kurt is not a very good player.

Explanation:

Had Kurt been a good player, the team captains would have selected him earlier.

Jessica chose him only because there were no others left

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the cost of attendance or coa is an approximate budget for the cost of attendance of the whole academic year. in order to calculate this, universities take into consideration many factors like room and board, tuitions and fees, books, transportation and personal expenses such as medicine, laundry, clothing. all these factors combined make up the final sum to the cost of attendance in each university.
