Which of the following topics is introduced by the paragraph?

budget cuts and their negative effects on high school athletics

all of the above
none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: The basketball team's need of new uniforms and their desire for sponsorship

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the correct answer because the entire paragraph is about how Jonathan Cross and his basketball team need new uniforms but the school can't afford them. In the 4th sentence, he states, "The team is seeking other sponsors to fund our new uniforms." This sentence not only proves that they are seeking sponsors, but are looking for someone to fund their uniforms.
