Explanation:

Question 5

To determine the answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The paragraph "Ready, Set, Bowl" likely focuses on the action of bowling, not its historical changes. Eliminate A.
• Option B: A strike is a specific scoring event, but the paragraph's title suggests a focus on the act of bowling (throwing the ball), not just getting a strike. Eliminate B.
• Option C: "Ready, Set, Bowl" implies instructions on how to throw the ball (the action of bowling), so this fits.
• Option D: Rules of bowling would cover scoring, turns, etc., not just the throwing technique. Eliminate D.

Analyze the structure of "Bowl Like an Egyptian":

• Option A: Cause and Effect involves showing why something happens and its result. Unlikely for a section about bowling like an Egyptian (probably descriptive). Eliminate A.
• Option B: Chronological is time - ordered, but the section is likely describing how to bowl like an Egyptian, not a time - based sequence. Eliminate B.
• Option C: Description involves detailing characteristics or how to do something. "Bowl Like an Egyptian" probably describes the technique or style of bowling like an Egyptian, so this is correct.
• Option D: Problem and Solution involves identifying a problem and its solution, which doesn't fit the title's implication. Eliminate D.

For this open - ended question, we can choose a sport, say basketball.

1. Sport: Basketball.
2. Practice helps: Practicing dribbling improves ball control. With practice, I can dribble faster and switch hands more smoothly. Practicing shooting improves accuracy. I start by making 3 out of 10 shots from the free - throw line, and after a month of practice, I make 6 out of 10.
3. Skills practiced: Dribbling (different moves like crossovers), shooting (form, aim), and passing (accuracy, timing).
4. How to tell improvement: In dribbling, I can keep the ball closer and move through defenders better. In shooting, my shooting percentage increases, and in games, I score more points from my shots. Also, my teammates rely on my passes more as they become more accurate.

Answer:

C. It explains the correct way to throw a bowling ball.
