1.Tоdаy, а fооtbаll team in possession of the ball has four plays to make a ten-yard first down, but during the late 1800s and early 1900s, the offensive team had three plays to make a five-yard first down, and passing was severely restricted, both by the rules and by tradition. 2As a result, coaches emphasized "mass plays," which directed the maximum amount of force against a single isolated player. 3In the most notorious of these plays, the flying wedge, players grouped themselves into a V formation and started running before the ball was put into play. 4At the last moment, after the ball had been passed to a player within the wall of the wedge, the densely packed runners crashed into their stationary opponent as one massive force. 5However, protective equipment was crude at the time: players often played without helmets, and helmets did not have facemasks. 6As a result, this use of massed brute force injured hundreds of players a year. 7 As if such plays were not treacherous enough, referees back then rarely enforced rules against slugging, kicking, and piling on. 'In fact. during just one season in 1909, such allowances resulted in 30 deaths and 216 serious injuries. 8Victory was the supreme object, and any method seemed justified in pursuit of that goal. __What is the topic of the paragraph of the above paragraph?

Reаd the fоllоwing pаrаgraph and then select the statement that best expresses the implied main idea. (Please chоose the correct letter only. Do not write the entire sentence, only the letter. Capitalize the letter). Until the start of the twentieth century, European linguists were convinced that Western languages were superior to all others in terms of complexity, efficiency, and beauty. It was generally assumed that small-scale non-Western cultures, which are characterized by simpler technology, have equally simple languages. In short, people who didn’t have an extensive language were thought to have “primitive” minds resulting in a diminished ability for expressing abstract ideas. Since the early 1900s, however, anthropologists have revealed that Native American languages, as well as many other languages of pre-industrial cultures, express a wide variety of abstract ideas just as sophisticated as English. —From FERRARO. Cultural Anthropology: An Applied Perspective 6e (p. 132). Copyright © 2006 Cengage Learning When a culture has an extensive written language, it becomes industrial. Early linguists had negative ideas about non-Western languages that were later proven wrong. European languages are unmatched for their elegance, efficiency, and beauty. Some native American languages have evolved to become just as sophisticated asmodern English.

In one study of 525 undergraduates who exercised regularly, all of the women failed to see themselves as underweight, even when measurements reported that they were. And they perceived themselves as overweight, even when they were not. Additionally, many of the women who considered themselves normal weight nonetheless desired to be thinner. Similarly, the men also had unrealistic perceptions of themselves. They most commonly exercised to gain weight, even when their body weight was evaluated as normal and healthy. The men in the study generally saw themselves as underweight, even when they were not. Most of them expressed the desire to be heavier, and the bulk they wanted, of course, was not fat but muscle. —From HALES. An Invitation to Health 12e (p. 180). Copyright © 2007 Cengage Learning Men desire to gain more muscle mass than women when they work out. Men and women have opposite goals when they exercise. A study showing that exercising men and women both tend to have unrealistic perceptions of their weight. Due to men’s expectations, women often exercise with unrealistic goals for their body weight. A study shows that exercising men and women both tend to have unrealistic perceptions of their weight. B and D —From HALES. An Invitation to Health 12e (p. 180). Copyright © 2007 Cengage Learning
