Read this excerpt from the draft of a student essay. The creation of Title IX in college sports has had a lasting impact on women's sports in the United States. Title IX is a federal law that states
that women cannot be discriminated against in athletics at schools, colleges, or universities that receive federal funding. It has allowed girls
and young women to pursue sports and go on to compete on the world stage, especially in professional soccer. The World Cup soccer
competition in 2016 was a significant moment, as the United States women's team advanced to win the title. While male professional
athletes still outrank women in terms of salary, women are gaining prominence. Many women play on professional teams and have
sponsorships with major companies. One of the most significant places that Title IX has had an impact on is high school sports.
Which sentence would be best to add at the end of the paragraph to provide more detail?
OA The number of girls playing high school sports has grown from 300,000 in 1974 to more than 3 million today.
B. Some young women even participate in traditionally male-dominated sports, such as football and hockey.
OC Young women who play sports in high school are twice as likely to have a high grade point average.
D. There are also more opportunities for leadership in non-sports-related activities.
