Question

candace is a goalie on her hockey team who has a reputation for stopping every puck before it enters the goal. which skill most likely helps candace respond as the puck flies in her direction? (1 point) balance reaction time power speed

Explanation:

To determine the skill that helps Candace respond as the puck flies toward her, we analyze each option:

• Balance: Refers to maintaining stability, not directly related to quickly reacting to a moving puck.
• Reaction time: Is the time taken to respond to a stimulus (the puck flying toward her). A goalie needs to quickly react to stop the puck, so this is relevant.
• Power: Involves strength or force, not focused on quick response to a moving object.
• Speed: Is about how fast one moves, but reacting quickly (reaction time) is more critical for stopping a puck as it approaches.

Answer:

B. reaction time
