Multiple Choice

Friday was going to be a big day! It was the championship game of the season in soccer, and Joe was the team captain. He wanted to lead his team to their first district championship in the history of their school. They only had enough players to use 3 substitutes, so they always had to be in excellent shape in order to play almost the entire games and run at their fastest speeds the whole time. Alex was one of their fastest players, and Joe knew that without Alex, it was be

difficult to win on Friday. The school held a huge pep rally to encourage the team and cheer them on that morning. The cheerleaders were planning a special presentation during half time, and it seemed that the entire community was going to be at the game to witness the historic victory. The game was supposed to start at 5:00 that evening, so Joe asked all the players to meet in the locker rooms at 3:30 to suit up and have a quick warm up before the game. Excitement and tension were in the in air, and Joe was feeling both confident and nervous. He didn’t want to let everyone down. As he walked up to the locker rooms to get ready for all the other players to arrive, he saw the coach standing at the door. He looked very upset and told Joe that three of the players had come down with the flu, and they would be unable to play in the game today. They didn’t have to forfeit the game as long as the rest of the players were still willing to play, but this would mean they would have to stay in the whole time and have no substitutes.

What would be the best solution?

• They should just forfeit the game.

• They should play the game and do their best.

• Joe should ask the coach to make the sick players play, even if they are really ill.

• Joe should quit the soccer team.
