Wanting to be a good teammate, erika never mentioned the other players. she expected them to step up and admit their involvement. she ended up taking the fall alone. her teammates avoided her, saying they were happy the cheater was off of the team. with the exam postponed, they were treated as heroes for winning the championship without her. erika transferred to another school, remembered as the girl who cheated to make straight a's. today, a star athlete and college scholar, erika blames past mistakes on no one but herself. the ball is in her hands again. this time she plans on making better decisions.
which of the following facts is expressed implicitly in paragraph 5?
a erika transferred to another school.
b erika's teacher postponed the exam.
c erika's team won the championship.
d erika was hurt by her teammates.

D. Erika was hurt by her teammates.

Explanation:

This is the statement that is implicit in this paragraph. When we look at Erika's situation, we learn that she was hurt by her teammates. We can guess this in various ways. We know that Erika considered the event a mistake, as she later urged herself to make better decisions. We also learn that Erika ended up taking the fall alone, that her teammates avoided her and that she transferred to a different school. All of these events most likely caused Erika a lot of pain, even if this is not explicitly stated in the text.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
