Deron is his basketball team's leading scorer, but he has lacked hustle at practice, and he refuses to share the ball on plays that call for him to pass. As a result, the coach benches Deron. He quits the team and claims the coach
hates him, by saying, "I'm the only foreign exchange student playing on the team. Of course he'd bench me. I quit."
Later, Deron wants to come back and show the coach that he understands why he was benched. Which of the
following would be an appropriate way of showing that Deron accepts personal responsibility for the benching?
0 "I still think you hate me for personal reasons, but I know I could have hustled more."
"I know this has nothing to do with the fact that I am a foreign exchange student, and I could have tried harder in
practice so this wouldn't have happened."
(iii) "I understand that you're the coach, and I'm the player. I will listen to you from now on."
A i only
B. i and ii only
C. ii and iii only
D. i, ii, and in
