Question

1. which one sentence below from passage 1 best supports the claim that football may have players that sustain long - term health issues?

a \one study looked at brain tissues of deceased nfl players.\
b \cte occurs when repeated head trauma causes brain cells to form unusual proteins that hinder blood flow in the brain and kill nerve cells.\
c \according to another report, the nfl anticipates that about one - third of all retired players will develop a long - term health issue because of the sport.\
d \a concussion is a brain injury that can cause someone to lose consciousness.\

Explanation:

Option C directly mentions that the NFL anticipates a significant number of retired players will develop long - term health issues due to the sport, which most strongly suggests football has health problems. Option A just mentions a study on brain tissues, Option B explains CTE mechanism, and Option D defines concussion without as strong a link to football's health problems.

Answer:

C. "According to another report, the NFL anticipates that about one - third of all retired players will develop a long - term health issue because of the sport."
