Perhaps the most important factor in reducing the number of traumatic brain injuries, however, lies not with the players, the coaches, or the administrators, but with the media and fans. Sports media producers have become accustomed to showcasing the most aggressive tackles and the most intense plays. NFL broadcasts often replay especially violent collisions, while the commentators marvel at the physical prowess of the players involved. Some sports programs even feature weekly countdowns of the hardest hits. When the media exalts such hazardous behavior, professionals are rewarded for injuring each other on the field, and amateurs become more likely to try to imitate their favorite NFL athletes. Announcers, commentators, television producers, and sportswriters should engage in a collective effort to cease glorifying brutal plays. In turn, fans should stop expecting their favorite players to put their lives on the line for the purposes of entertainment. Players must stop being encouraged to trade their careers, health, happiness, and their lives for the sake of a game. The author's TONE is... A) apologetic B) depressed C) confused D) solemn

Elizabeth knew well that this day had been nearly one hundred years in the making and that it had not come without a cost. The passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution granting women the right to vote was the culmination of years of struggle. Elizabeth’s mother had taught her about Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, suffragists whose life work had been devoted to gaining rights for women. When those two pioneers had died, the mantle was passed on to Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, who placed their very lives at risk on behalf of other women.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, Create a short Part 3 intro for this poem (use the parts we have discussed)
