Read the passage and choose the best answer to the question.

Division 1 college athletes should be paid a small salary. Many college athletes have no money for daily life. Their scholarships cover housing, meals, and tuition, but they need money for other things. What if they need shampoo or a new pair of jeans? They often don’t have time to work because of their practices and games. Also, they may not be allowed to work part-time because of their scholarships. College sports bring in lots of money for the schools, so the players should get some of that.

Which piece of evidence best challenges the argument?

A-Paying college athletes makes them professionals, not amateurs.
B-Colleges and universities could bid on players, giving wealthy schools an advantage.
C-The 2 percent of high school grads playing Division 1 sports already get a free education.
D-College students could be irresponsible with any money they’re paid.

Answer:

I think it's D but I'm not entirely sure as these could all be arguments

An aunt of my father's (and therefore a great-aunt of mine) was the most influential and wealthy member of our family. Miss Trotwood, or Miss Betsey, as my poor mother always called her, when she overcame her dread of this formidable person long enough to mention her at all (which was seldom), had been married to a husband younger than herself. He was very handsome, except in the sense of the adage, 'handsome is, that handsome does'—for he was strongly suspected of having beaten Miss Betsey, and even of having once made some hasty but determined arrangements to throw her out of a window. These incidents induced Miss Betsey to pay him off, and secure a separation by mutual consent. He went to India with his money, and there, according to a wild legend in our family, he was once seen riding on an elephant, in the company of a Baboon. Anyhow, from India, news of his death reached home within ten years. How it affected my aunt, nobody knew. Right after their separation, she took her maiden name again, bought a cottage on the coast a long way off, established herself there as a single woman with one servant, and was understood to live secluded, ever afterwards, in retirement.
My father had once been a favourite of hers, I believe; but she was mortally offended by his marriage, on the ground that my mother was 'a wax doll'. She had never seen my mother, but she knew her to be not yet twenty. My father and Miss Betsey never met again. He was double my mother's age when he married, and not well. He died a year afterwards, and, as I have said, six months before I came into the world.

Which list of words best supports the story’s theme about the tendency of people to judge others for their very own faults and flaws?

suspected, beaten, news of his death, retirement

dread, formidable person, mortally offended, “wax doll”

maiden name, mutual consent, favorite, a year afterwards

adage, single woman, determined, established, cottage on the coast
