Answer 1

• It can't be C or D, because that likely has nothing to do w/ the story
• It's likely A or B, so reread the story with both of those in mind
• If it's A, it should talk about the meaning behind the way the basketball was designed, etc.
• If it's B, it would talk about famous basketball athletes, playing basketball, how basketball works, etc.
