Discussion
Two 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?
Answer: B
The inference is that Steve was known to play better than Mark.
James concedes he may not be good enough for his country but claims to be the best player in his own family. The jibe only works as a retort if Mark is not the best player in his own family, and Mark's family includes his famous brother Steve. So James is implying that Steve is the better player.
Nothing compares James with Mark or Steve directly, so "Mark played better than James" and "James played better than Steve" do not follow, and nothing at all suggests James and Steve were friends.
