Read this part from the selection. Kathryn Manning did not include hockey players under the age of 11 in her study. Why?
A. Players who are not at least 11 are probably not as interested in playing sports.
B. She thought players under the age of 11 would have too much homework to do.
C. She thought players who were at least 11 would be too busy with other activities after school.
D. Players under the age of 11 are not allowed to body check, so they are less likely to get hit hard.
The correct answer is D. Players under the age of 11 are not allowed to body check, so they are less likely to get hit hard.
Explanation: Kathryn Manning likely focused on players aged 11 and older because body checking is a significant aspect of hockey that is not allowed for younger players. By excluding those under 11, her study may have been aimed at analyzing the experiences of players who participate in a more physical style of play, where body checking is permitted. This would provide a clearer understanding of the impacts related to injuries and gameplay dynamics among players who engage in that level of contact.
