The Boys of Riverside Practice Test

The main idea is to read a team’s record as wins and losses over a specified span. “After their first five games” means we only consider the outcomes of those five games. If the Cubs won every game, the record is five wins and zero losses, written as 5-0. That’s exactly what the option states, so it matches the question’s scope. The extra detail about being ranked #2 among California’s 8-man teams is additional context about performance but doesn’t change the five-game record. The other options propose different counts (one loss, two losses, or even six games) that don’t fit having five games played.
