Lana is a support specialist who evaluates candidates for jobs in the fire department. She provides instructions to the seven new recruits about the challenging course they must complete before entering the program. Watching the recruits as they successfully scale the walls and obstacles set out before them, what deduction will Lana MOST likely make as to their prior fitness level?
Answer
A
The recruits have only recently begun to engage in regular exercise.
B
The recruits are naturally fit because of their young age and health.
C
The recruits lead an active, physically fit lifestyle already.
D
The recruits have likely never exercised before this program.
Explanation
Successfully scaling challenging walls and obstacles suggests the recruits already have the strength, endurance, and physical conditioning needed for demanding activity. Lana would therefore most likely conclude that they lead an active, physically fit lifestyle already. Their performance alone does not show that fitness comes only from youth or that they have just started exercising.
