It really depends on the person and what they think is more important - 

A: You could show that the 2008 Olympics was Michael Phelps' "last hurrah" as it were, as he did not do as well in the 2012 games, BUT the paper is on the 2008 games and not Phelps himself

B: The proof of the use of steroids could be used to make a point that perhaps the security needs to be stepped up, or that in the modern world, sport is becoming too unfair as new drugs are invented because people feel the need to cheat for the cash prizes.

C: This is not really an essay topic, but perhaps you could combine it with B as a controversial point.

D:You could use this point as proof that the bar is being raised every year, and that talent is being found everywhere, better talent, even from poorer countries that you wouldn't expect. You could also tie in Jesse Owens.

Personally, I would use B as drugs is a hot topic around the world, but it is ultimately up to Jacob.

Scrat [10]

Hello. Although you have submitted a text, you have not submitted any questions related to it, which makes it impossible for me to provide you with an answer. However, I will try to help you by showing you what is happening in this text.

The text you show above presents a logical fallacy. A logical fallacy is an argument that was created with incorrect reasoning but was presented as true. This text introduces the logical fallacy known as Straw man. This kind of fallacy causes a person in a debate to reproduce his opponent's argument in a distorted way and with a completely different meaning. We can see this fallacy in the question above because when Trish Harris claims that increasing school hours would help students get better grades on tests, Dan Richardson reproduces this comment completely distorted, claiming that Trish devalued the students and claimed they were the worst students of the district.

8 is c 
7 is b

“That is sooooo ironic.” This sentence is used frequently — and usually incorrectly — in American English.

Often the word “ironic” is misused to remark on a coincidence, such as “This is the third time today we’ve run into each other. How ironic.”

It is also mistakenly used to describe something out of the ordinary or unusual: “Yesterday was a beautiful, warm day in November. It was really ironic.” And, unfortunately, it is sometimes used to simply emphasize something interesting. For example, “Ironically, it was the best movie I’ve seen all year!” We submit that ironic might be the most abused word in the English language.
