Answer:

The statement best expresses the central idea of the text is

B. The attack on Kerrigan put both her and Harding in the national spotlight and

further solidified the public's opinions about both skaters

Explanation:

After the attack incident, the media seized on the unexpected story. Reporters were following Harding everywhere she went, begging for comments, hiding outside her house, and even searching through her trash. Kerrigan’s every move was also monitored and accompanied news reporters and camera crews. She appeared on the cover of magazines like TIME and Newsweek. Hundreds of pages of press were dedicated to the two women. This put both of them on the national spotlight .

Also, it solidifies public opinions about both of them as public perception was that Tonya Harding was the scrappy, disadvantaged athlete who fought for everything she thought she deserved; and Nancy Kerrigan is the elegant, natural performer who had now, in the media and public eyes, become a victim of ruthless ambition.

The Winter Olympics that rarely draws public attention beyond the two weeks it is televised every four years is still being talked about till today, people still talk about Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding because of the attack incident. The media coverage made it about more than just sports. In tabloids and news features, Kerrigan and Harding still founds theirselves being subjects of a universal story about competition, ambition, victimhood, and justice.

The mass appeal and public opinion of this narrative is easy to see. The rivalry between Kerrigan and Harding has became a pop culture trope. Sitcoms, like Seinfeld, leaned on the narrative to crack relatable jokes to their audiences.

a story that ends with "therefore, whoever wants to sit under a tree tomorrow should plant one today​
zhuklara [117]

Here is a story that ends with  "therefore, whoever wants to sit under a tree tomorrow should plant one today​"

I must confess to you, I like to enjoy life. I like to have the latest clothes, gadgets and toys. I always splurged a lot and never saved. I reckoned I would begin to save when I was older.

But as I grew older, my gluttony seemed to just get worse. I earned five hundred thousand dollars per annum yet I always seemed to be in debt and I had no savings all thanks to my extremely lavish lifestyle.

In the blink of an eye, I was already old and I had to retire. I retired penniless and in great debt. I could not afford my house so I ended up in a homeless shelter.

If only, I had managed my finances better when I was younger, I would not be living in penury now. Therefore, whoever wants to sit under a tree tomorrow should plant one today​".
