Iused to like being called a “rabbit,” after our school mascot, when i ran on our school track team, but i when the district cut our budget.

choose the phrase that best creates an angry, blaming tone in the sentence.

a) couldn’t do track

b) couldn’t run anymore

c) had to leave the team

d) was robbed of track

The correct answer is:

I used to like being called a “Rabbit,” after our school mascot, when I ran on our school track team, but I was robbed of track when the district cut our budget.

Option D represents anger and blaming by the act of robbing, taking something that belongs to someone without permission is always a violent act.

The other options are not correct because they don't have any word that looks for a guilty person they only express the impossibility to keep on doing the activity.
