bass The text states that the instruments in the school band are drums, bass, flute and trumpet. John plays the drums, Mary the flute, and Pete the trumpet. It then notes that Lucy does not play a wind instrument. The only remaining instrument is the bass, so Lucy must be the bass player. This can be inferred from the list of instruments and the roles assigned to the other students. By process of elimination, the bass guitar is the only one Lucy could plausibly play, as the other three are already taken and she is specifically said not to play a wind instrument like the flute or trumpet. While the text doesn't say "Lucy plays the bass," the information provided is sufficient to logically conclude that she is the one playing that particular instrument. Her role in the band is not specified, but her instrument can be determined by the facts given about the other students' instruments and the single unaccounted-for one. No additional information is needed to make this deduction based on the details provided.
