The football coach at Government College, Faisalabad noticed that some of

his players were frequently late to morning football practices and seemed
somewhat lethargic after they did arrive. He directed his assistant coach to
look into the matter. The assistant coach reported back that most of the late
and less active players belonged to fraternities on campus which were
renowned for their frequent and late-night parties. The head coach then
prohibited all of his football players from being members of fraternities. He
reported that this would ensure that his players would get to practice on
time and that they would have more productive practice sessions.

which one of the following?

A. He fails to establish a system to monitor his players' fraternity

membership and to impose penalties for those who do not
follow his new rule.
B. He fails to establish that his players are physically big and
strong enough to be successful football players.
C. He fails to establish that his new policy will ensure that at least
some of his football players will go to bed at a more reasonable
hour.
D. He fails to establish that his best football players did not
belong to fraternities anyway.

will not suffer if the football players are precluded from
becoming members.
