The true statement about the directrix is that each directrix of this ellipse is 31.25 units from the center on the major axis.
<h3>How to determine the distance of the directrix?</h3>
The equation of the ellipse is given as:

The above means that:
a^2 = 625
a = 25
b^2 = 225
b = 15
Calculate c using:
c^2 = a^2 - b^2
This gives
c^2 = 625 - 225
Evaluate the difference
c^2 = 400
Evaluate the square root
c = 20
The equation of the directrix is
x - x₀ = ± a²/c
So, we have:
x - x₀ = ± 625/20
Evaluate the quotient
x - x₀ = ± 31.25
This means that, each directrix is 31.25 units from the center on the major axis.

If you were the coach, the player I would want on my team would be player A.
<h3>Which player would I want on my team?</h3>
The player I would want on my team is the better player.
Statistics of Player A:
Minimum score = 14
Maxium score = 40
First quartile = 25
Median = 31
Third quartile = 33
Statistics for Player B:
Arranging Player B's scores in ascending order: 8, 21, 22, 22, 25, 25, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32, 35, 46
Minimum score = 8
Maxium score = 46
First quartile = 1/4(13 + 1) = 22
Median = 26
Third quartile = 3/4(13 + 1) = 31.5

We can automatically rule out answer A, as short stories are not exclusively about the writers life.
That leaves B. C. and D.
B is incorrect as it is too vague in nature.
D is also incorrect as not all short stories are true or non fiction.
And so by process of elimination, the answer is C.
