C) to inform the public about the use of thermometer pills to prevent heatstroke in young athletes
The first paragraph discusses the dangers of heatstroke in young athletes and a possible preventative measure: the thermometer pill. The second paragraph explains how the thermometer pill works. The last paragraph mentions the cost of the pill which explains why it is not more widely used. Only a few sentences in the whole article mention the cost of the pill so it is not the main purpose. The article also does not go into any detail about the signs and symptoms of heatstroke. Ice baths are also only briefly mentioned so this is also not the purpose of the article.
The correct answer among all the other choices is C) to inform the public about the use of thermometer pills to prevent heatstroke in young athletes. Thank you for posting your question. I hope this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
