Answer:
The symbol of commuters as birds illustrates how they come and go without ever experiencing the city.
Explanation:
They go from city to suburb, from the air to it's roost, one could say, but never get to experience what the city has to offer. They don't have the freedom to come and go, because they go there to work. Meaning, having to fulfill some economic needs, responsabilities, etc. They don't go because they feel like going.
They do offer something positive though because, again, they go there to work. A city -a society- needs its body of workers. It needs people to work, doesen't matter if it's from a suburb or not.
The symbolism of the suburbs as a "roost" expresses the safety and comfort of the commuter’s home is wrong because he says:
"The suburb he inhabits has no essential vitality of its own". It is pictured as something sad, empty.
I´d say A. Others don´t make much sense in the context.
Answer:
I believe that youth sports have become too intense. Many kids today play extracurricular sports starting at a young age, exposing them to athletic injuries. Youth sports include soccer, basketball, lacrosse, and even wrestling. Those sports are only examples of the sports available to kids today. Sports can cause minor and major injuries, and although it is called "youth" sports, the rules are still the same. Competitiveness can lead to kids accidentally injuring each other. The intenseness of youth sports can also burn out the passion and motivation for the sport, as it is too stressful for some kids. In fact, 7 out of 10 kids who play organized sports quit by age 13, according to the National Alliance for Youth Sports. Youth sports have become too intense as it may be too stressful for children and can cause injuries.
