One reason why some students might not play a sport?

one reason why some student might not play a sport is because they aren't interested in it. for example: i play badminton, soccer, basketball, and golf because i enjoy them very much. i DON'T play, like, baseball because i'm not interested in that one. for some reason, it just doesn't appeal to me like some sports do! i even tried it once but i don't have as much fun as i do on the sports that i like doing.

another reason is that they might not be good at the sport! i once tried out for my swim team.. it didn't go very well. i sucked terribly at it! since i didn't exactly excel in swimming, it was hard to find entertainment in that sport. i'm pretty sure the experience would have been way better if i was any good at it.

and yet another reason might be because they are banned from it for some reason. like, the student's parents wouldn't allow them to play the sport. maybe the parents would ban a sport so the child could focus on the grades, or the parents were a n n o y e d with the sport. other circumstances could occur that would allow a student to not play a sport. for example, one may move to mars and realize that bowling is surely not allowed there.

oops i named like three reasons. oh well, i hope this answer helped you grandly!

the word that best matches the meaning of the expression "went to the big ocean" is died.

the goldfish died, which is why the father looks at the children mournfully. the "big ocean" is the father's way of saying fish heaven. he could have just said that the goldfish died, but this way, the children imagine the fish in a bigger, better place instead of just picturing a dead fish.
