Excerpt from Basketball Blues Raquel Lindell Jillian sighed as she picked up the phone. She did not want to make this call. The line rang several times before Jillian's basketball coach, Coach Muenster, answered. Jillian explained the situation and informed Coach that between healing time and physical therapy, she would be unable to play for the entire season. Coach tried to sound supportive and encouraging, but Jillian knew that in her mind she was already reworking the entire offense of the team without one of her star athletes. Nonetheless, she invited Jillian to attend practices to lend moral support to the team. The following Monday, Jillian changed into her practice uniform and took her place on the wooden bench. Jillian couldn't help but feel jealous when the girls took to the court without her. As she sat there, however, she became engrossed in the girls' movements—a bobbled pass here, a missed block there, an incredible steal. She quickly created a chart, jotting notes about each of her teammates' passes, points, free throws, fouls, and so on in the blocks. Jillian was so focused that she didn't notice Coach Muenster studying the impressive notes over her shoulder. At the end of practice, when the team huddled for a pep talk, Coach Muenster made a surprise announcement: "I think it's obvious to everyone that Jillian will be out for the season," she said, pointing to Jillian's cast, "but that doesn't mean that she can't be a pivotal part of this team. Until she regains full use of her arm, Jillian will assist me as team manager." She turned to Jillian. "Jillian, let's hear some of those notes." Why does Jillian take notes at basketball practice?
A) She doesn't want the players to see how upset she is about not being able to play.
B) She is bored because she cannot play, and she takes notes to keep from falling asleep.
C). She needs to do something to feel a part of the practice, and observing her teammates is something she can do from the sideline.
D) She is jealous that she cannot play and wants to point out the players' mistakes while they are on the court.

C). She needs to do something to feel a part of the practice, and observing her teammates is something she can do from the sideline.

In the passage it does state that Jillian is jealous of her teammates; however, it does not say that she takes the notes because she wants to be vindictive and point out the players' mistakes. She only decides to take notes after she becomes fully engaged watching the players on the court. Her notes are not specifically just about mistakes. The passage points out that she also notes down passes and free throws. Options A and B are just plain wrong.
