The excerpt does not reveal why the fans are screaming racial insults or why the fans begin to feel the heat. This eliminates option A as a possibility. Option C is also wrong because the excerpt does not speak to the reader and convince the reader to believe one way or another on an issue. Option D is also wrong because the author does not include his or her own opinion about the topic. Option C is correct because in this excerpt the author is simply reporting the events and the emotions of the football players.
