Question

Read the following conclusion from your group's draft research text. Which answer choice provides the BEST concluding statement?


In conclusion, both players and the NFL are fully aware of the health risks involved in professional sports, including concussions, memory loss, and potential long-term brain disorders. Despite these dangers, professional sports teams continue to prioritize performance over player health, putting athletes at significant risk.



AIn conclusion, that’s why professional football is too dangerous.
BClearly the NFL and players have numerous data to support the overall safety of players in the NFL and should be allowed to determine for themselves the impact of the sport on player health.
CUltimately, football remains a dangerous sport, and while some athletes may be willing to accept these risks, the likely impact on their health is unavoidable.
DAs long as there are fans, the likelihood of professional football being disbanded is unlikely, therefore the issue of player safety should remain a discussion point for all stakeholders.

Answer 1

C

Reason: Option C best restates the draft's findings — that football remains dangerous and players may accept risks — in a clear, formal concluding sentence consistent with the paragraph.
