The task involves tracking the exchange of items between multiple individuals and determining the final possession of a specific item. This requires keeping a record of the exchanges and updating the ownership of the item accordingly.

Analyzing the Task:
1. Initial Ownership: Each individual starts with a specific item (ball, dance partner, book) at the beginning of the game/dance/semester.

2. Exchange Pairs: The exchanges occur between pairs of individuals, with each exchange involving the transfer of the item from one person to another.

3. Tracking Exchanges: It is essential to keep track of the exchanges and update the ownership of the item after each exchange.

Constructing the Code Prompt:
1. Initialize Ownership: Start by assigning each individual their initial item (ball, dance partner, book) at the beginning of the game/dance/semester after extracting individuals or items from the input_text.

2. Define Exchange Pairs: Define the pairs of individuals involved in each exchange. This helps in structuring the logic for updating ownership.

3. [Important] Process Exchanges: Iterate over each exchange pair and update the ownership of the item accordingly. This involves:
   - Identifying the individuals involved in the exchange.
   - Updating the ownership of the item based on the exchange.

4. Determine Final Ownership: After processing all exchanges, the individual who ends up with the specific item (ball, dance partner, book) is the answer to the task.

5. Match with Provided Options: Compare the final ownership with the provided options to identify the correct answer.

The key to solving this task lies in accurately tracking the exchanges and updating the ownership of the item accordingly. By systematically processing each exchange pair, we can determine the final possession of the item. The logic for updating ownership should be clear and consistent to ensure the correct answer is derived. The use of iteration and conditional statements is crucial for efficiently handling the exchanges and determining the final outcome.
