Players must continue to try their hardest, even when their team is losing the game. While players may think losing means failure, losing should be viewed as a good outcome.

He should remove the first sentence, as this information is repeated in the paragraph.
C
He should add relevant evidence to support his claim that sports teach perseverance.
D
He should add a personal story that illustrates his experiences of playing team sports.
Explanation
The paragraph claims that playing team sports teaches perseverance, then describes how players respond to losing. To make this research-based essay convincing, Raoul should add relevant evidence—such as research or expert findings—showing that team sports help players develop perseverance. A personal story would be less suitable for supporting a research-based claim.
