Question

what is the author’s attitude toward football injuries? football injuries are more severe than car accidents. football injuries are minimal compared to the benefits. football injuries are rare and insignificant. football injuries should lead to the elimination of the sport.

Explanation:

To determine the author's attitude, we analyze each option:

• The green option compares football injuries to car accidents, but there's no info suggesting the author made this comparison.
• The purple option ("Football injuries are minimal compared to the benefits") implies the author sees injuries as less important than the sport's benefits, which is a common way to express a positive/accepting attitude toward the sport despite injuries.
• The orange option claims injuries are rare and insignificant, but football injuries are not typically rare, so this is unlikely.
• The teal option suggests eliminating football, which is a very negative attitude, and there's no indication the author advocates this.

So the purple option best reflects a likely author's attitude, acknowledging injuries but downplaying their significance relative to benefits.

Answer:

B. Football injuries are minimal compared to the benefits.
