Anglais pour psychologues (Lynn Leger) : Who will survive ?

A group of 15 individuals are traveling in a space ship on their way to colonize a distant planet that is presently void of any intelligent life but has an environment, which could easily support humans. There is a sudden malfunction in the oxygen replenishing equipment on the ship that cannot be repaired. It can only supple oxygen for a max of 8 people. If the 15 continue to breathe the air, they will exhaust the oxygen and all will die before reaching the planet. Therefore, 7 people must be eliminated. List below the 7 people who were eliminated and briefly list the reasons for the decision.
