Can Finny play sports after the accident?

• A. No
• B. Yes
• C. Sometimes
• D. Only skiing

Answer: (A)

The question tests how a serious accident reveals a character’s new physical limits and how that reshapes who they are. After Finny’s fall, his leg injury isn’t a temporary setback; it changes the trajectory of his life as an athlete. The doctors and the narrative make it clear that he cannot return to competitive sports, even though he longs to keep playing and refuses to let that reality fully sink in at first. This isn’t about one sport or about a momentary pause—it’s about a permanent limit that upends his dream of being a lifelong, celebrated athlete. The weight of that loss matters in the story because it exposes how tightly Finny’s identity is bound to his athletic prowess, and how pride and denial interact with hard physical truth.

So, the best answer reflects that reality: he cannot play sports after the accident. The other possibilities don’t fit because they either contradict the medical reality the book presents, or they suggest inconsistency or a temporary condition that the text does not support, or they narrow the failure to one sport when the injury affects his ability to participate in sports in general.
