I do not believe in this statement.
Every single person, regardless of their sexuality, gender, or belief, are all capable of true love. Love is a romantic or a nice platonic feeling people, it shouldn’t be limited for anyone.
Summary:
The clock ticked on, repeating and repeating its sounds into the emptiness. And the rain tapped on the empty house, echoing. At eight-thirty the eggs were shrivelled and the toast was like stone. The five spots of paint - the man, the woman, the children, the ball- remained. It sniffed the air and scratched the kitchen door. Behind the door, the stove was making pancakes which filled the house with a rich baked odour and the scent of maple syrup. In the cellar, the incinerator glowed suddenly and a whirl ofsparks leaped up the chimney. The dinner dishes manipulated like magic tricks, and in the study a click. Dawn showed faintly in the east. Among the ruins, one wallstood alone.

Answer:
Updike has carefully brought the meaning to the poem and to the character by naming him Flick, which means a quick and sudden movement.
Explanation:
'Ex-Basketball Player' is a poem written by John Updike. The poem is about a character named 'Flick Webb' who used to be basketball star in his high school but now serves as a gas station attendant.
<u>The poem brings the meaning that one should not remain the past glory of life and must move on</u>. Flick used to be a basketball star in his high school but after that moment of life gets over he is just 'Flick' who, now, should think of life ahead of him. But he remains stick to his past glory.
"Flick' means a <u>quick and sudden movement</u>. By naming the character 'Flick', Updike brings out the message that life goes on in a flick moment of time and thus one should remain prepared for it. But, in the poem, 'Flick' was not prepared for life ahead and remained a slave of past glory as an 'Ex-Basketball Player.' Because 'Flick' perceived that his glory will remain forever, he never learned other skills to help him for his future, that's why now he serves as a gas station attendant.

“The speed limit should be lowered for safety reasons” would be the best answer. All of the other sentences are too informal. When writing an opinion piece you want to have somewhat of a conversational tone but you shouldn’t use words like “totes” and “gotta”. I’m the end, it is a formal paper stating your opinion and should be professional.
