7. Scenario
To celebrate its recent victory, a high
school quiz bowl team visits Disney World.
The night before they are scheduled to
board the airplane to return home, a team
member suggests that they leave their
luggage outside the doors to their rooms
so that hotel personnel may carry it
downstairs for them. Is this a good
suggestion? Why or why not?
