Question

answering the following question.
what phrase from the paragraph helped you to define flexibility?
“kenny is at a high risk for injuries”
“trying to decrease his 40-yard dash time”
“he can’t straighten his lead leg to clear the hurdles”
“he scores very high on assessments of all health-related fitness components”

Explanation:

To determine the phrase defining flexibility, we analyze each option:

• "Kenny is at a high risk for injuries" relates to injury risk, not flexibility.
• "trying to decrease his 40-yard dash time" is about speed, not flexibility.
• "he can’t straighten his lead leg to clear the hurdles" shows a lack of flexibility (ability to move joints through full range), so this phrase helps define flexibility.
• "he scores very high on assessments of all health - related fitness components" is a general statement about fitness, not specific to defining flexibility.

Answer:

C. "he can’t straighten his lead leg to clear the hurdles"
