Question

5 select the correct answer. a quarterback takes a hard hit and is carried off the field on a stretcher. why might he have a better chance of recovery than quarterbacks of previous generations?

a. rules that promote fair play now force players to tackle softer than before.

b. the doctor will have more advanced medical equipment than before.

c. teams dont play as often, so he will get a longer recovery period.

d. players often fake injuries to influence the referees.

Explanation:

• Option A: Tackling rules don't force "softer" tackles in a way that directly relates to better medical recovery; it's more about play style, not recovery.
• Option B: Medical technology has advanced over time, so doctors now have more advanced equipment to diagnose and treat injuries, which improves recovery chances. This is a valid reason.
• Option C: There's no indication that teams play less often now compared to previous generations, so this is not a valid reason.
• Option D: Faking injuries has nothing to do with actual recovery chances.

Answer:

B. The doctor will have more advanced medical equipment than before.
