During volleyball tryouts, I tried my best. Deep inside, I knew my efforts probably were not good enough. My fears were proven true when Coach Bonham said, "Kid, as far as playing volleyball goes, you can't cut the mustard. But it wouldn't surprise me if you did really well playing basketball. Coach Tyroch is having basketball tryouts next week, and you should sign up for them." Which of the following is the meaning of the idiom can't cut the mustard? A. to be much better at one sport than at another one B. not being good enough to compete or participate in an activity C. not being able to successfully dunk or dribble a basketball D. to be extremely clumsy when playing a skill-related sport
