Good Luck!
In the past 15 years the government has poured millions of pounds into promoting sport to try to increase adult participation. The results show no lasting effect. A survey showed that unless children ‘catch the sport habit’ between the ages of seven and fourteen years they are unlikely to participate in sport as an adult, and that the sports they adopt as children are likely to be the sports they play as Schools need and should be given money to give children an interest in sport. Spending money trying to persuade adults to take up sport is like locking the stable door after the horse has bolted.
Explanation
The correct answer is C.
This passage talks about the efforts made to try increase adult participation in sport. The argument speaks of how schools need to be allocated funds to increase interest in sport, as spending money trying to persuade adults to take up sports will never work. Looking at the answer options, A, is not true, based on information in the text, B is potentially true, but we are unsure based on the text. D is potentially true, and alluded to, however we can not accurately conclude this from the passage. E is true but not always, leaving C as the only completely true conclusion based on the information provided in the text.
