strength.

endurance.
d. pete would beat joe in a weight - lifting competition because he has better muscular
strength.

please select the best answer from the choices provided.

○ a
○ b
○ c
○ d

Explanation:

• Option A: Hitting a ball far relates to muscular strength, not endurance needed for a distance race. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: Hitting a ball farther implies Joe has greater muscular strength, which would help in arm - wrestling. This is a logical conclusion.
• Option C: The information shows Joe hits farther, so Pete is unlikely to beat Joe in a distance - throwing competition. C is wrong.
• Option D: There's no indication Pete has better muscular strength; Joe hitting farther suggests otherwise. D is incorrect.

Answer:

B. Joe would also beat Pete in an arm wrestling competition because Joe has more muscular strength.
