Answer 1

Ответ:

1. The rule that the group wants to be established for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is to allow college athletes to benefit from their name, image and likeness (NIL). This means that college athletes could earn money from endorsements, sponsorships, autographs, social media and other activities that use their personal brand. They want this rule to be written because they believe that college athletes deserve to be compensated for their hard work, talent and popularity, and that the current NCAA rules are unfair and exploitative.

2. The author's purpose in this article is B) to persuade. The article presents two opposing views on the issue of paying college athletes, one in favor and one against. The author uses facts, statistics, examples and quotes to support each argument and to convince the readers to agree with one side or the other. The article also invites the readers to share their own opinions on the topic.
