Excerpt from basketball blues raquel lindell 1) looking at the hard, plaster cast that extended from her hand to her shoulder, jillian groaned for the billionth time. she couldn't believe that—in a split second—she had broken her arm in two places and had ruined her chances of becoming the leading scorer on the girls' varsity basketball team. she thought back to the moment that had led to her current situation. what seemed at the time as a snappy solution quickly snowballed into a catastrophe. 2) jillian sat on her bedroom floor organizing notebooks, folders, and textbooks. she had designated a color to each class—yellow for accelerated geometry, green for chemistry i, orange for american government, and so on. jillian always joked that she was only good at two things: organization and basketball. jillian's mother even teased her daughter about the military precision with which she performed everyday tasks such as making her bed and ironing her clothes. "a place for everything and everything in its place," jillian always said. in her bedroom, that meant books on the bookshelf, clothes in the closet, and blankets neatly tucked beneath the corners of her mattress. on the basketball court, that meant jillian poised to make a free throw or a three-pointer at the buzzer. the second paragraph reveals a character trait that will make jillian a good team manager. it is that a) she is good at housework. b) she has a military nature. c) she is not too trusting of others. d) she tends to keep close track of details.
