Answer to Question 1

A no cuts policy in the early adolescent years is typically a good idea. We often see a drop in self-esteem in early adolescence; excluding students from extracurricular activities on the basis of ability cannot possibly help the situation. Furthermore, we see an increase in students' need to affiliate with peers during this period, and teams and clubs provide a means through which this need can be met.

Answer to Question 2

d.
