    Why weren't the S.O.R. Losers concerned about sports?

    • They had won all their championships at their school

    • They had played enough sports in elementary school.

    • They were good at other things besides sports.

    Correct Answer
    A. They were good at other things besides sports.
    Explanation
    The S.O.R. Losers were not concerned about sports because they were good at other things besides sports. This suggests that they had other talents and interests that they were more focused on, rather than solely focusing on sports. Winning all their championships at their school and playing enough sports in elementary school may have contributed to their lack of concern for sports, but the main reason is their proficiency in other areas.
