RC Question 9 Explanation

QUESTION TEXT: Which one of the following is discussed in passage A …

DISCUSSION: Like the previous question, it helps to take note of what each passage discusses. Passage A spends a while talking about the role of audiences. B doesn’t mention who the audience is or what they know (only that academics tend to patronize them).

___________

1. Neither passage compares different sports.
2. That idea of “purposiveness” only comes from Passage B.
3. B mentions academics dismissing sports fans, not A.
4. CORRECT. Passage A discusses how sports audiences tend to be knowledgeable because many fans once played sports. B never mentions this.
5. Both passages discuss the aesthetic appeal of sports.
