Answer 1

The correct answer is B) They begin with a generalization and apply it to a specific case.

Many people think that all combative sports should be strictly monitored and regulated by state commissions. It is obvious that the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is an organization that promotes combative athletic events. State athletic commissions should strictly monitor and regulate the UFC.

The sentence that BEST describes the way the last three sentences of section one function is "They begin with a generalization and apply it to a specific case."

This is correct because the paragraph starts with a general concept referring to "all combative sports." This is a generalization, it could include, box, karate, tae kwon do, and many others. From there, the sentences turns more specific to refer precisely to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and the specific recommendation that the state athletic commissions should regulate the combats.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. The first sentence refers to a general proposition - all combative sports should be strictly monitored - and then it specifies that the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) should fall into a category to be monitored and regulated.
