Answer

The author believes that the love of competition has distorted the truth about winning.

Solution

  1. Read the excerpt carefully. The author discusses various myths surrounding the process of winning and competition.
  2. Notice the statement regarding the love of competition. Option (A) states that “the love of competition has created an accurate portrayal of winning.” However, the inclusion of myths in the excerpt suggests that the portrayal is not entirely accurate.
  3. Option (B) reiterates the myth that “there can be only one winner.” This is mentioned as a myth in the text, not as the author’s belief.
  4. Option © states that “the love of competition has slanted the truth about winning.” This aligns with the excerpt since the author criticizes the prevailing myths, implying that competition distorts the reality about winning.
  5. Option (D) is unrelated to the discussion in the excerpt.
Thus, the author most likely believes that .
Final answer: Option ©.

Mind Expander

The concept of competition has evolved significantly throughout history. In many ancient civilizations, winning was not just about personal glory; it was often tied to survival and advancement for entire tribes or communities. Understanding this background helps clarify why some believe there can only be one winner in competitions today – a belief that may be more reflective of societal values than reality.
In the real world, the idea that “there can be only one winner” can be quite limiting. Take, for instance, team sports or collaborative projects in workplaces. Often, the success of a team is not just about one person outshining the others but about collective effort and shared victories. Recognizing contributions from everyone involved can lead to a more enriching experience, both in sports and in professional environments!
