This cannot be correctly inferred from the statements above. We can correctly infer that none of the people sitting in the waiting room of the school's athletic office at nine o'clock is an accomplished player. The fact that a person has registered for a beginner's course does not mean that the person has never played tennis before.Quote:
(B) Everyone sitting in the school’s athletic office this morning at nine o’clock registered only for a beginner's tennis clinic.
We can infer that anyone who sat in the waiting room of the school's athletic office registered for a beginner's tennis clinic. But we cannot infer that they registered only for beginner's tennis clinic. Whether they registered for another clinic cannot be determined. B is therefore incorrect.Quote:
(C) John, Mary, and Teresa were the only people who registered for a beginner's tennis clinic this morning.
That John, Mary, and Teresa sat in the waiting area only tells us that they registered for the beginner's clinic. We cannot correctly infer that they are the only people who registered for the beginner's tennis clinic. C is thus wrong.Quote:
(D) John, Mary, and Teresa were the only people sitting in the waiting room of the school’s athletic office this morning at nine o’clock.
The fact that we are informed that John, Mary, and Teresa were sitting in the waiting room of the school's athletic office does not mean they are the only people sitting in the waiting room. There could be others or they were the only people there, we can't tell. D is incorrect.Quote:
(E) Neither John nor Teresa is an accomplished tennis player.
Correct. We know that no accomplished tennis player would register for a beginner's tennis clinic. And since we can infer that John and Teresa registered for the clinic because they sat in the waiting area of based on the information above, we can conclude that neither John nor Teresa is an accomplished tennis player.

(A) None of the people sitting in the school’s athletic office this morning at nine o’clock had ever played tennis.
- This statement cannot be inferred from the given information. We only know that they registered for a beginners tennis clinic, but we don't have information about their previous tennis experience.
(B) Everyone sitting in the school’s athletic office this morning at nine o’clock registered only for a beginners tennis clinic.
- This statement is supported by the given information. Since everyone in the waiting room had just registered for a beginners tennis clinic, it can be concluded that they registered only for that clinic. However, it doesn't address whether John and Teresa are accomplished tennis players.
(C) John, Mary, and Teresa were the only people who registered for a beginners tennis clinic this morning.
- This statement cannot be concluded from the given information. We know that John, Mary, and Teresa were in the waiting room, but we don't have information about whether others also registered for the clinic.

- This statement cannot be inferred from the given information. We don't know if there were others in the waiting room.
(E) Neither John nor Teresa is an accomplished tennis player.

We are told that no accomplished tennis player would register for a beginners tennis clinic, and both John and Teresa were in the waiting room after registering for the clinic. Therefore, it can be concluded that neither John nor Teresa is an accomplished tennis player.
Option (E) is the only statement that can be logically deduced from the information provided in the question.
