Answer

Brief Explanations:

The text describes the evolution of cheerleading from its origins as a male-only activity to a modern sport involving complex routines, stunts, and competitions. It highlights that as decades passed, routines became more difficult and a new form of "competitive cheerleading" emerged in the late 20th century. In this competitive form, teams focus on winning prizes and titles rather than just cheering at games. Therefore, the reader can infer that these spirit squads (competitive teams) prioritize competition over traditional game-day cheering.

Answer:

D. spirit squads would rather compete than cheer at games
