Select the correct answer.
which claim is supported by the evidence that a competition can have only one winner?
the importance of competition
a students face disappointment if they lose while competing.
b. competitions boost confidence in all participating students.
c. schools should encourage students to try new things.
• d. hardworking people do not achieve success easily
a competition is a great way to engage students to be more
interested in school activities because it adds a "fun" element to the
learning process. competitions are also known to motivate some
students. but are competitions always healthy? is being part of
competitions the only way to prove capability? students' families should
not force students to participate in competitions
the idea of winning a competition may be so demanding that a
student may concentrate all of his or her efforts on preparing for the
competition over other things. this may create an imbalance in the
student's life. students might also neglect their studies because they
are intent at being successful in only one thing. this fear of losing may
also make students overwork, which can have a negative effect.
moreover, it is obvious that any competition will have only one
winner, and the others have to brace themselves for disappointment.
sometimes, even though a person may perform well, he or she may
lose a competition to someone who performs slightly better. this
disappointment can affect the confidence of the competitor, and
therefore, his or her performance.
thus, competitions can have a negative impact on students.
