E) Bobby, who did not qualify for the Excellence Club, completed a deal worth over $1,000,000, and generated more dollars in sales than he did last year

ANSWER

Answer: D
Explanation: D) If completing a new product deal worth $1,000,000 or more gets you into the Excellence Club, then Shelly in Choice D qualifies by completing that deal and doing better this year. Choice A: Ali might not qualify because we don’t know if he placed in the top 10 percent. Choices B and C: Yero and Kelly might not qualify if they didn’t do better this year than they did last year. Choice E: We know Bobby completed a deal worth over $1,000,000, but we don’t know if it was a new product deal. We’re also told that he didn’t qualify for the Excellence Club.
