Multiple Choice

Table 22-2
Three longtime friends-Allen, Brian, and Cody-are deciding how they will spend their Sunday afternoon. They all agree that they should do one of three things: go to a movie, play golf, or go to a baseball 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 table below.
-Refer to Table 22-2. If (1) the first vote pits "baseball game" against "movie," and (2) the second vote pits "golf" against the winner of the first vote, then the outcome is as follows:

• A)"Baseball game" wins the first vote and "baseball game" wins the second vote, so they go to a baseball game.
• B)"Baseball game" wins the first vote and "golf" wins the second vote, so they go to the golf.
• C)"Movie" wins the first vote and "movie" wins the second vote, so they go to a movie.
• D)"Movie" wins the first vote and "golf" wins the second vote, so they play golf.
