Which statement best paraphrases the controlling idea in this introduction paragraph?
The Ridge Road Community Center has a swing set, a sandbox,
monkey bars, and a basketball hoop. But the swings are empty, and the
playground is silent. Why? Because the RRCC does not have the funds
to fill the empty sandbox or repair the broken basketball hoop. I think
caring community members should do what the RRCC cannot. We can
donate the money, supplies, and hard work needed to repair the
playground
O A. Not enough children are playing outside because the RRCC
playground is in disrepair
B. The RRCC needs to hold better fund-raisers so it can fix the
playground
OC. It costs money to buy fresh sand and toys for a playground
sandbox, and the RRCC does not have enough funds.
OD. People should volunteer to make the RRCC playground a fun place
to play

Lots of elementary school kids play sports after school. they play soccer, tennis, football, baseball, and even lacrosse. but i think that another great way to spend the afternoon is by playing a non-physical activity: chess. at our school we have a chess club that meets every week to play games and to learn about chess-related issues. chess is a wonderful game for many reasons. chess teaches students to be patient and not rush decisions. chess also teaches students how to strategize their future plans. and finally, chess teaches students the importance and necessity of sacrifice. chess can teach students just as much as any other sport. which sentence could best be added to this paragraph as a supporting detail? a) chess is not as fun as playing a sport outdoors might be. b) my father is very good at chess and plays a game with me every night. c) chess teaches students to think ahead about the consequences of their actions. d) other activities that are as fun as chess are painting, drawing, dancing, and acting.
