Project ForgeTwo very famous sportsmen Mark and Steve happened to be brothers, and played for country K. Mark teased James, an opponent from country E, "There is no way you are good enough to play for your country." James replied, "Maybe not, but at least I am the best player in my own family."
Which one of the following can be inferred from this conversation?
- AMark was known to play better than James
- Steve was known to play better than Mark
- CJames and Steve were good friends
- DJames played better than Steve
Explanation
James's comeback ('at least I am the best player in my own family') is a pointed retort implying that Mark, despite being good enough to play for his country, is NOT the best player in HIS OWN family — meaning Mark's brother Steve is known to play better than Mark. That's the intended sting of the reply.
