Question

the main idea of the reading is that football is losing popularity in the U.S. Which of the sentences below provides supporting details for that idea ?

Answer 1

A. Recent polls show that for the first time, a majority of parents say they would try and talk their children out of playing the game if they asked about joining a team

Step-by-step explanation:

• Choice A is the best answer. This choice utilizes information from polls which are used to gauge public opinion. Although the exact poll isn't cited, it is still used as evidence to support the main idea of this passage.
• Choice B is incorrect. America's fading love for football is an observation one can make. However, this observation alone cannot be utilized as evidence to support the main idea of the passage.
• Choice C is incorrect. Leaving the losing popularity of football up to time is inconclusive and does not support the main idea of the passage.
• Choice D is incorrect. The SuperBowl, a football championship, being more crowded than the NBA finals disproves the main idea of the passage and would support those who disagree with the passage.
