Please see our copyright and disclaimer notice page. You've just greeted six students who want to learn to master the moguls in two hours. After a couple of warm-up runs with the group, you realize that several students would be better served by a lesson geared toward improving their matching abilities.

An instructor who selects C recognizes the need to improve the students' matching abilities but ignores their expressed desire to ski the bumps.
