Which statement best represents the controlling idea of the paragraph? On a crisp autumn day, a group of energetic kids gathers to play one of

America's favorite sports, and it's not football. Most people associate

autumn with football games, but a rising number of people are

choosing to play another kind of football: soccer. According to Play

Soccer magazine, soccer has become the third most played team

sport in the United States. With this startling statistic in mind, it is

unbelievable that most school soccer teams receive very little funding.

Soccer interest is on the rise, and that is why our schools should

designate more funding for their soccer programs.

O A. Soccer is a sport that should be played primarily in the autumn

months.

O B. Because schools do not provide adequate support for soccer,

more kids are playing for teams outside of their schools.

OC. Schools should focus on building their soccer programs, since

more kids are playing soccer than ever before.

O D. Soccer is a team sport that is rising in popularity, while football is

declining
