Answer:

selective attention is very important because something so serious like that injury, when brushed off can spread and cause more damage and issues to your body mentally or physically. he should have payed more attention, because he would have noticed the injury and got it dealt with rather than brushing it off and continuing. the pain became worse as he put more pressure on it
