Answer 2

C: sentence 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to improve the paragraph's sentence fluency the sentence number 3 should be revised because the phrase "such as college athletes" is misplaced. It should come after "only amateur players", and complete the idea by giving an example of what have been presented: Only amateur athletes such as college athletes were able to participate.
