Question

which source would best support an argumentative essay on the importance of protective gear for those playing sports?

• an editorial on the need for a community sports complex
• an interview with a professional golfer
• a case study of sports - related injuries
• a medical journal on the causes of tennis elbow

Explanation:

A case - study of sports - related injuries would directly show the consequences of not using protective gear, providing strong evidence for the importance of protective gear in sports. An editorial on a sports complex is off - topic, an interview with a golfer may not cover general protective gear needs, and a medical journal on tennis elbow focuses on a specific injury rather than overall protective gear importance.

Answer:

C. a case study of sports - related injuries
