Question

Read the paragraph. When Allison saw the advertisement for a free basketball clinic at the community center, she knew she would attend. Tryouts for her school team were still a month away, and her jump shot needed work if she wanted to be selected this year. Hours of work with her brother had improved her technique, and her layups were consistent. She could hold her own in neighborhood games of three-on-three, but her outside shots rarely made it through the hoop. Allison hoped that the instruction at the clinic would address this weakness. She marked her calendar for the event and headed out to the driveway. What can readers conclude about Allison? Check all that apply. She wants to play on her school’s basketball team. She has better basketball skills than her brother. She is willing to practice to improve her skills. She has experience playing basketball with her friends. She hopes to learn the rules of basketball at the clinic.
