Question
Going into this last dive, Archie is in a tough spot: He will need an
almost perfect score in order to secure the gold. You can tell the fans
are anxious as the numbers flash on the scoreboard. It's very unlikely
that Archie can achieve a high enough score with the dive he has
planned, so, realistically, he has only two hopes left: He can attempt a
more difficult dive to gain more points, or his next-closest opponent, Li,
could falter. Otherwise, it seems certain that Archie will be locked out
of gold-medal contention.
What information should be included in an objective summary of the
passage?
• A. The scoreboard uses lights to display numbers.
• B. This is one of the most exciting diving competitions in history.
• c. Li will lose points if he causes a splash when he dives.
• D. Archie can earn more points for a more difficult dive.
