H D5 TS Q04 – Selective High School

Fae: “If you want to have any chance of qualifying for the Go Kart Masters, you’ll need to practise at least fifty minutes, four times a week.

Salim: “Well, I practise every day, rain hail or shine, for at least 60 minutes each session. I’ll certainly be qualifying for the Go Kart Masters.”

Which of the following statements shows the mistake Salim has made?

Salim is taking the Go Kart Masters overly seriously and will not qualify because he is overworking himself. Salim needs guidance from a professional coach who can time his races and show him where he can shave off more time in his laps. Qualification for the Go Kart Masters is likely to be filled with other talented racers who have all practised at least fifty minutes, four times a week. Qualification in the Go Kart Masters is not guaranteed even if Salims practise sessions are longer than the minimum required.

Are you sure you want to leave?
