Question 13

Maya, Chloe and Dan were debating whether or not to enter their projects into the regional science fair.

Maya said: "I don't think I will submit mine. The judges are always biased, and besides, it's raining today so my luck is probably thin anyway."

Chloe said: "That is nonsense. We have both worked incredibly hard, spent weeks researching, and prepared our presentations thoroughly. Our success is entirely down to our own effort."

Dan told Maya and Chloe that he would only submit his project if they both submitted theirs, but if they backed out, he would too.
