In any year that Springfield Academy's boys soccer team wins at least ten games, the team will get to play in the championship tournament that year. If Springfield Academy's boys soccer team does not play in the championship tournament in any year, the school will loose alumni funding support the following year. In 1996, Springfield Academy received more alumni funding support than in any of the five previous years.

Which of the following statement about Springfield Academy must be true?

A. The boys soccer team won at least ten games in 1996.
B. The boys soccer team played in the championship tournament in 1996.
C. The boys soccer team did not play in the championship tournament in 1995.
D. The boys soccer team won more than ten games in 1995.
E. The boys soccer team played in the championship tournament in 1995.

well its hard to eliminate D but i would pick E as it explicitly states that..The boys soccer team played in the championship tournament in 1995 and thus got alumni funding support.....
Which of the following statement about Springfield Academy must be true?
A. The boys soccer team won at least ten games in 1996.....that would qualify them for championship tournament but provide alumni funding support for 1997....not correct
B. The boys soccer team played in the championship tournament in 1996.....same as A....incorrect
C.The boys soccer team did not play in the championship tournament in 1995....then they would not have got the alumni funding support in 1996...which they did hence incorrect.

The premise states that if the team wins at least 10 games they get to play in the championship tournament. D says that the team won more than 10 games. D can be eliminated because it is possible that the team made it to the tournament by winning exactly 10 games. Go with [/spoiler]E[spoiler][/spoiler]

This question is fairly easy. First off, from the information given in the argument, you cannot tell that any of the information given in A and B regarding the year 1996 is true. Eliminate A and B. In C you are told that the team did NOT play in the championship tournament in 1995. You know this has to be false because the team received funding in 1996 (thus implying they at least played in the tournament that year). Eliminate C. D is clearly wrong. The boys soccer team does not need to win more than 10 games in 1995 in order to receive the funding in 1996. "In any year that Springfield Academy's boys soccer team wins at least ten games, the team will get to play in the championship tournament that year." So, basically, if the team won ten games and made it to the tournament and lost the first game, then the team would still receive the funding in 1996.
