which of the following is not a theme that has emerged with the evolution of sport and society:

• sport is perceived to build character
• sport offers an alternative form of communal identification and mutual endeavor.
• the physical challenge of daily existence has declined gradually.
• industrialization, urbanization, and city life have resulted in decreased anonymity and alienation.

Explanation:

1. Analyze each option:

• "Sport is perceived to build character" is a common theme in sport - society evolution.
• "Sport offers an alternative form of communal identification..." is a valid theme as sport unites people.
• "The physical challenge of daily existence has declined..." is valid as modern life's reduced physical demands make sport a way to meet physical challenges.
• "Industrialization, urbanization...decreased anonymity and alienation" is incorrect because industrialization and urbanization usually increase anonymity and alienation (people in cities are more isolated despite being in crowds), so this is not a theme of sport - society evolution.

Answer:

D. Industrialization, urbanization, and city life have resulted in decreased anonymity and alienation. (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A - D in order, with the last option being D. The actual label may vary, but the content "Industrialization, urbanization, and city life have resulted in decreased anonymity and alienation" is the incorrect one as industrialization/urbanization typically increase anonymity and alienation, while the other options are valid themes of sport - society evolution: sport building character, sport as communal identification, and declining physical daily challenges leading to sport's role.)
