Read the following sentences from the text.

“It turned out that the old goal was connected to an iron pole planted in a block of cement that even Keyshawn’s musclebound family could not pull out of the ground… despite the fact that they had dug a hole around it and we're working together as a team…

That’s when I noticed a two-by-four board lying against the wall under the carport. Hey, I thought, that could be our lever! I remembered learning about levers in elementary school. Our fifth-grade teacher, Ms. Jameson, had explained that a lever works kind of like a seesaw. You put a heavy object on one end of the lever, resting it on something in the middle (called the fulcrum) that supports it. Then, by pushing down on the other end, you can lift heavy objects much more easily.”

What can you conclude based on this information?

A. Will thinks that they can lift the basketball goal more easily if they use a lever to push it up out of the ground.

B. Will would rather be studying for science class than trying to move a heavy basketball goal out of the ground.

C. Will thinks that they will never get the basketball goal out of the ground and that they should give up.

D. Will and his friends decide to play basketball without a goal because they can’t get it out of the hole.
