 how does the author support the argument? a) by describing the sports people can do outside b) by explaining how sports people stay healthy c) by explaining how sports people make friends d) by describing the different sports people can join

The answer is D.

Explanation:

The main idea is that people should practise/learn a sport because they can excercise while having fun. The supporting argument shows different sports related to different ways of having fun. For instance, according to the paragraph if some people like having fun outdoors, they can find a sport like running that can be practised outside. Or, if you are a people person and love hanging out or meeting someone new, you can enjoy playing basketball.

All in all, by listing different sports people can join according to what they like doing, the writer here supports the idea that exercise and fun can go together.
