Which of the following statements most explains the paradox in the above argument?
James did not perform well last year.
This year, James won many games and averaged a lot of goals.
Critics continue to doubt his performance and do not want him to be apart of the world cup squad.
Explain this paradox.
A. It is not true that OldFort United has been playing more number of matches this year.
This is irrelevant to the reason why James should not be apart of the world cup match.
B. Football critics are mostly not correct in their opinion since biases cloud their judgment.
Same reasoning as A. This provides no value to the paradox.
C. OldFort United’s decision to hire Wayne Bruce has turned out well for the team as he is the leading scorer for the team this year.
We don't care about wayne bruce (too many assumptions here). We care about James!
D. Questions are being raised by certain critics about the actual nationality of James McGuel and it is likely that he shall be excluded from the World Cup squad for the country.
Nationality? What? The passage suggests that performance is the main indicator for world cup squad!
E. After last year’s poor showdown, OldFort United has been relegated from the premier league and is currently playing against weaker opponents.
Yes! This explains why people are hesitant to have James onboard. Even though he performed well, he performed well against weak opponents (pumping his statistics up)
