Read the excerpt from Outcasts United.Perhaps no one in Clarkston was as excited to hear about the free soccer program as eight-year-old Jeremiah Ziaty. Jeremiah loved soccer. Since arriving in the United States with his mother, Beatrice, and older brothers, Mandela and Darlington, Jeremiah had been cooped up in his family's Clarkston apartment on strict orders from his mother. After she was mugged on her very first commute home from her job at the Ritz-Carlton hotel, Beatrice had taken a hard line. She wanted the boys inside when they got home from school. When Jeremiah asked his mother if he could try out for the new soccer team in town, she stood her ground."Certainly I say, Jeremiah," Beatrice told him, "you won't play soccer every day."

A

B
Why won’t Beatrice allow her son to participate in the soccer program?
C
Who could change Beatrice’s mind about the new soccer program?
D
Will Jeremiah obey his mother or will he secretly join the soccer program?
