“How and why was the first skateboarder inspired to go aerial, to break contact with any surface and do acrobatics in mid-air? Consider that the pioneer was doing this for the very first time over a vertical drop of perhaps 15 feet to a concrete surface. It's not the sort of thing you try out of idle curiosity”Which statement below is a logical inference, based on the passage?
Answer
A
When skateboarding began, it was very dangerous.
B
When skateboarding began, it was very boring.
C
When skateboarding began, many people were killed.
D
All of the above are logical inferences based on the passage above.
Explanation
The passage describes a skateboarder trying an aerial for the first time above a roughly 15-foot drop onto concrete, emphasizing that this was not a casual experiment. That supports the inference that early skateboarding was very dangerous. The passage gives no evidence that many people were killed or that skateboarding was boring, so “all of the above” is not supported.
