by taking skating lessons to better her technique
by wearing safety equipment appropriate to the activity

Explanation:

Analyze the scenario

The scenario describes Alice slipping and injuring her knee while ice skating. This is an unintentional recreational injury.

Evaluate the prevention options

• Option 1: "by resting periodically to maintain her strength" - While rest prevents fatigue, it does not directly protect a specific joint like the knee from impact during a sudden slip on ice.
• Option 2: "by taking skating lessons to better her technique" - Lessons improve skill but slips can still happen to anyone on ice.
• Option 3: "by wearing safety equipment appropriate to the activity" - Wearing appropriate safety gear (such as knee pads) directly protects the knee joint from impact and injury when a fall or slip occurs. This is the most reliable and standard preventive measure for physical impact injuries in recreational sports.

Answer:

• by resting periodically to maintain her strength
• by taking skating lessons to better her technique
• by wearing safety equipment appropriate to the activity (Correct answer)
