Question 2 • TX-English III

What piece of information suggests that some wrestlers will have an incentive to cheat in certain matches?

Answer
A
Wrestlers’ rankings are based on their performances in elite tournaments.
B
A wrestler with a 7–7 record has more to gain from winning than someone with a record of 8–6 has to lose.

Explanation

Choice B describes an unequal payoff from the same match: a wrestler with a 7–7 record has more to gain by winning than an 8–6 wrestler has to lose. That difference can give one wrestler an incentive to cooperate or cheat in a particular match, especially if the other wrestler has less at stake. Rankings being based on tournament performance, as in choice A, does not by itself show that wrestlers have conflicting incentives.
