答案C

解析 To determine the number of different combinations of 3 of the remaining candidates that the manager has to choose from, you first have to know the number of remaining candidates. Since you know that the manager has already chosen 3 of the 11 candidates to be on the team, it is easy to see that there are 8 remaining candidates. Now you need to count how many different combinations of 3 objects can be chosen from a group of 8 objects.
    If you remember the combinations formula, you know that the number of combinations is(which is denoted symbolically asor). You can then calculate the number of different combinations of 3 of the remaining candidates as follows.

The correct answer is Choice C.
