Penn Webb is the boy at school who always got picked on. This can be inferred from the question, which asks for the boy who was constantly targeted by others. Since John Coogan and Jane Forbes are not mentioned in relation to being picked on, it can be concluded that Penn Webb is the correct answer.

Crash Coogan is described as a young neighborhood bully who enjoys playing football and tormenting other children in the neighborhood. This suggests that he is not well-liked and engages in aggressive behavior towards his peers.

The word "Crash" is described as being "very popular" in school. This implies that Crash is well-liked and has a large social circle among his peers.

The correct answer is Scooter. This can be inferred from the given options, where the names Scotland and Scotty do not indicate a familial relationship, whereas Scooter could potentially be a nickname or a common name for a grandfather.

The correct answer is "how to be a good friend" because the sentence states that Penn teaches Crash how to be a vegetarian, how to be a good friend, and how to be a better football player. Out of the three options, "how to be a good friend" is the only one that matches the given information.

Penn's parents came to almost every football game.

Penn Webb's family is vegetarians because they do not consume meat or any animal products. This can be inferred from the given options where "vegetarians" is the only choice that relates to their dietary preferences. The information provided does not mention anything about their religious beliefs or athletic abilities, so these options can be ruled out.

Penn was named after relay races. This suggests that the name "Penn" is derived from the word "pen," which is a shortened form of "peninsula," a term used in relay races to describe the last runner who carries the baton to the finish line. This naming could symbolize the university's focus on teamwork, collaboration, and the idea of passing on knowledge from one generation to another, much like the baton in a relay race.

Crash got his nickname because he was an aggressive child. This suggests that he had a tendency to engage in reckless behavior or display a lack of self-control, which led others to nickname him "Crash". It implies that his actions were often forceful and potentially destructive, aligning with the idea of crashing into things.
