Question

review the second and third paragraphs.
football.
3 the fact is, there is no safe sport, contact or otherwise. data from the national center for catastrophic sport injury research show that the majority of catastrophic sports injuries for young people are indirect. on the football field, heat stroke or heart failure is more likely to cause a catastrophic injury than a hard tackle or a collision. these risks are not specific to youth football. they are common to other sports such as soccer, track and field, lacrosse, or any youth activity pursued for long periods of time outdoors. a ban on tackle football would do nothing to prevent these more common kinds of catastrophic injury.
4 the center’s data also indicate that catastrophic injuries in football have been trending
what do the second and third paragraphs do?
the two paragraphs distinguish high - risk sports from low - risk sports and show that football is low risk.

Explanation:

The given option is incorrect. The second (paragraph 3) and third (paragraph 4, though only part is shown) paragraphs use data from the National Center for Catastrophic Sport Injury Research to show that no sport is safe (contact or non - contact), that most catastrophic youth sports injuries are indirect, and that a ban on tackle football won't prevent common catastrophic injuries. They don't distinguish high - risk and low - risk sports or claim football is low - risk. Instead, they emphasize the universal risk in sports and the nature of catastrophic injuries in football.

Answer:

The provided statement is incorrect. The two paragraphs (focusing on the visible third and part of the fourth) use research data to argue that no sport is safe (contact or non - contact), explain the nature of catastrophic youth sports injuries (most are indirect), and show that a ban on tackle football would not prevent common catastrophic injuries. They do not distinguish between high - risk and low - risk sports or assert that football is low - risk.
