As they prepare for the state championships, one gymnast must be moved from the Level 2 team to the Level 1 team. The coaches will move the gymnast who has won the biggest prize and who has the most experience. In the last competition, Roberta won a bronze medal and has competed seven times before.

Michele has won a bronze medal, and it is her third time competing. Who will be moved to the Level 1 team?

A. Roberta B. Beth
C. Michele D. Jamie
Answer:B
Explanation:

Beth won the biggest prize, described as a higher medal than Jamie's, which we've been told was a silver medal.

Roberta and Michele both won bronze medals, which are lower ranking medals than silver.

Beth is also described as having competed more times than Roberta who has competed seven times.
