This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read “Battle of the Bionics” by Steve Murray

Which quotation states where the central idea of the text emerges?

a“On your mark, get set…go! The starter flag drops and the race is on. While their teams shout encouragement, the competitors reach their first challenge—a line of sofas.” (paragraph 1)

b“This unique event is testing the latest assistive technologies for people with disabilities. While certain technology isn’t allowed in the Olympic or Paralympic games, it’s at the heart of the Cybathlon.” (paragraph 2)

c“The World Health Organization reports that about 1 billion people—15 percent of the world’s population—have physical disabilities of some kind.” (paragraph 4)

d“Some pilots race bikes around the track by controlling their leg muscles with electrical signals. Others race through a computer game using the electrical signals they generate with their brains.” (paragraph 6

Answer:

b“This unique event is testing the latest assistive technologies for people with disabilities. While certain technology isn’t allowed in the Olympic or Paralympic games, it’s at the heart of the Cybathlon.” (paragraph 2)

Explanation:

The author reveals the importance of the Cybathlon as the central idea of the text in the second paragraph.

The introduction (paragraph 1) provides details about a race without disclosing much information other than sofas being involved, in an attempt to create suspense and engage the reader.

The information provided in the fourth and sixth paragraphs presents further details later in the text.

I am sort of puzzled on this particular question; however, I think I solved it. Okay, so the text starts with explaining the benefits of coffee, then it proceeds to explain the negative affects of consuming coffee. Transition words like <em>on the other hand</em> are commonly used when contrasting ideas. Hence, I believe the correct answer is c. contrast.
