Answer:
You should choose partner 1: Patrick
Explanation:
Decision making process:
First, look at both partners history in science lessons.
Pat has a small history of taking science lessons, but he has a hard time in other subjects, taking the fact that he made a D on his midterm paper.
Tasha however has a good attitude about school, and even though she doesn't neccesarily have a big background in science, she shows that she has the ability to <em>learn</em> other things, and she would be able to pick up science quickly.
Now we must look at how they spend their time.
Patrick spends most of his time at band and football, showing he wouldn't have as much time.
Tasha however, puts school above all of this, and she would be able to put a lot of time into it.
Looking at both options, you must choose Tasha, because she would be able to give you her full time, and even though she might not be a science pro <em>yet</em>, she will be able to learn fast, as she puts all of her time into school.
