3) Ten sports are offered by local youth leagues, but the school offers only three.
4) Student athletes are required to maintain a 3.0 grade point average to play.

Answer 1

Option 1, 'None of the faculty members have expressed interest in coaching a new sport,' best completes the chart as a reason against adding a new varsity sport because it directly addresses a potential resource gap.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asked concerns determining which statement best completes a chart comparing reasons for and against adding a new varsity sport to a high school's offerings. The statement that best completes the chart should logically fit as a reason against adding a new sport.

Among the options provided, option 1: 'None of the faculty members have expressed interest in coaching a new sport' directly pertains to a potential barrier to adding a new sport, which is the lack of a coach. This fits into the 'against' column, as having no coaches interested in the sport indicates a resource gap that could prevent the establishment of a new team.

The other options do not serve as reasons against adding a new sport or do not directly address resource concerns relevant to the capability or infrastructure of the school to support a new sport.
