The rules of baseball state that a batter Legally Completes His Time at Bat when he is put out or becomes a base runner. Which situation below is the best example of a batter Legally Completing His Time at Bat?
A.
Jared's blooper over the head of the short-stop puts him in scoring position.

The umpire calls a strike, even though the last pitch was way outside.
C.
The pitcher throws his famous knuckleball, Joe swings and misses, and the umpire calls a strike.
D.
The count is two balls and two strikes as Mario waits for the next pitch.
The fact that Jared is in scoring position due to his blooper indicates that he has hit the ball and is now a base runner; therefore, he has legally completed his time at bat. Choices b and c both describe situations in which a strike is called, but they do not state that the batter has been put out or that he is now a base runner. Choice d describes a situation in which the batter, Mario, is still at the plate waiting for the next pitch.

In the Maple Hill school district, a Five-Day Suspension occurs when a student is not permitted to attend school for five days for (1) physically assaulting another student, a teacher, or a school employee or (2) willfully destructing or defacing school property. Which situation below is the best example of a Five-Day Suspension?
A.
Lillian gets caught cheating on a math test for the second time and is suspended from school.
B.
Marc is asked to leave the classroom due to his constant disruptions.
C.
Franny uses spray paint to write derogatory comments on the locker room wall and she is given a suspension.
D.
Ms. Farmer tells her class that students who fail the midterm exam will be expected to stay after school for tutoring help.
Although choices a and c both describe suspensions, only choice c describes a suspension that is the result of one of the two scenarios given in the definition of a five-day suspension (physical assault or destructing or defacing school property). Therefore, we can assume that Franny's suspension, which is the result of spray painting school property, will be a five-day suspension. Since the definition doesn't provide any information about suspensions for cheating, we can assume that Lillian's suspension does not fall into the five-day suspension category.
