question 107

Multiple Choice

Table 22-2
Three longtime friends-Stephanie, Stella, and Lydia-are deciding how they will spend their Sunday afternoon. They all agree that they should do one of the three things: go to a play, play baseball, or go to a soccer game. They also agree that they will have two pairwise votes to determine how to spend their afternoon, with the majority determining the outcome on each vote. The first, second, and third choices for each person are as indicated in the following table.
​
​
$$\begin{array} { | c | c | c | c | } \hline & \text { Stephanie } & \text { Stella } & \text { Lydia } \\\hline \text { First choice } & \text { soccer game } & \text { baseball } & \text { play } \\\hline \text { Second choice } & \text { baseball } & \text { play } & \text { soccer game } \\\hline \text { Third choice } & \text { play } & \text { soccer game } & \text { baseball } \\\hline\end{array}$$
-Refer to Table 22-2. If (1) the first vote pits "soccer game" against "play," and (2) the second vote pits "baseball" against the winner of the first vote, then the outcome is as follows:

• A)"Soccer game" wins the first vote and "soccer game" wins the second vote, so they go to a soccer game.
• B)"Soccer game" wins the first vote and "baseball" wins the second vote, so they play baseball.
• C)"Play" wins the first vote and "play" wins the second vote, so they go to a soccer game.
