    Question

    As per the coach of a hockey team, like any other

    challenging sport, hockey requires intense practice in order for one to become proficient. But many hockey programs encourage only children who demonstrate early talent to continue practicing hockey, while children who are not especially talented in hockey are directed towards other activities. Thus, having learned to think of themselves as inept in hockey, these children do not devote sufficient time to play hockey and thus, deprive themselves of the opportunity to develop a latent talent. The hockey coach's statements, if true, would best support which of the following conclusions?
    A Everyone has the potential to learn hockey. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Talent is not always apparent at an early age. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C All children should be given training of hockey. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Children should not be hardly criticised by adults Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Hockey programs should not devote special attention to talented students. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As per the argument, due to the fact that only those students who show a talent of hockey in the early stage are encouraged to pursue this sport, many children deprive themselves of the opportunity to develop a latent talent. This means talent for a sport is not always visible at an early age. The same conclusion is given in option (b). Thus, option (b) is the right answer.
