Maria excels in gymnastics and tumbling. She has the commitment and dedication it takes to be successful in a demanding sport. The balance beam is my favorite event to watch because it requires a great deal of focus. Maria will continue training in the hopes of landing a spot on the competitive team.

Answer:

One consistency in the text is "The balance beam is my favorite event to watch because it requires a great deal of focus."

Step-by-step explanation:

The line "The balance beam is my favorite event to watch because it requires a great deal of focus." is inconsistent with the text because the story suddenly changes from 3rd person to 1st person. When writing a story about something, you shouldn't abruptly mention your opinion/belief on something, even if it's related to the story.
