Answer 1

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Serena Williams' catsuit controversy evokes the battle over women wearing shorts" is an article written by Deirdre Clemente. The article talks about the dress of women athletes that have been, time and again, in controversy.

In Paragraph 7 of the article, Clemente added a comment by a sportswriter on women athlete's wear that states that women athletes wear funny clothes that makes them hard to breathe and that they should know what to wear to look elegant and beautiful.

This inclusion of comment by the author highlights the absurdity of people's thoughts regarding women athletes wear. This comment reveals how inane are people in their thoughts about women athletes wearing shorts in games.

Thus the correct answer is option B.
