Official Solution:
Statement 1:
Sorting by scores in each subject shows that Ana consistently had the highest or second-highest scores across all subjects. Therefore, if only two students were to be selected for the scholarship, Ana would have to be one of them. Therefore, this statement is True.
Statement 2:
In Biology, Donald had a lower score than both Boris and Caroline—65 compared to 67 and 78, respectively. If the minimum required score in Biology was 66 or 67, Donald would not qualify for the scholarship. Therefore, this statement is False.
Statement 3:
A minimum required score of 80% corresponds to a score of 64 in each subject. However, none of the students have a score below 64 in any subject. Therefore, if the minimum were set at 64, all students would qualify for the scholarship. Therefore, this statement is False.
Correct answer:
If only two students were to be selected for the scholarship, then Ana would have been one of them. "True"
If Boris and Caroline were to be selected for the scholarship, then Donald would have also been selected. "False"
If the minimum required score were set at 80% in each subject, then only three students would have qualified for the scholarship. "False"

Statement 2 solution is NOT clear.
As you have mentioned- "In Biology, Donald had a lower score than both Boris and Caroline—65 compared to 67 and 78, respectively."
But what about Math - Donald's score 76 > Boris's 75 ; In English also- Donald's score 72 > Boris's 71 and in Physics, both Donald & Boris have the same score.
So, if we compare- Boris leads only in 1 subject (Biology) while Donald leads in 2 subjects ( Math & English).
Kindly explain this answer and suggest in case I am approaching the question incorrectly??
