Question 1: Why do you think Melanie decided to block the ball and save KB from getting smashed in the face?

A) She wanted to show off her skills at “heading” the soccer ball. (optional)

B) She thought her “teamwork” would impress Coach Cruncher. (optional)

C) She was sick of Cassandra picking on KB. (optional)

That was a pretty impressive play . . . but I don’t think she was out to impress anyone. Try again.

Maybe. But I think there’s a better answer.

I agree. I think she’d finally “had it” with Cassandra and decided to do something to help.
