Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
To determine the best sentence that adds descriptive detail, we analyze each option:
- Option A: Mentions Texas and Biles' first nationals win. The original passage has a Texas Monthly story about her travel, so this connects to the Texas context and adds a detail about her achievements there, fitting the passage's focus on her journey.
- Option B: Talks about pressure to be the first African - American all - around gold medalist. The original passage is about her training decisions, not this specific pressure, so it's off - topic.
- Option C: Discusses her fear about her gymnastics career not working out. The passage is about her training commitments, not her fears, so it doesn't add relevant detail.
- Option D: Is a general statement about athletic giftedness, not a descriptive detail about Biles' journey as the passage focuses on.

# Answer:
A. "Texas was also the site of the first nationals Biles would win."
