c. Sentence 9

C

D. The writer describes what happened to someone who did not drink enough water

D

Water plays an important part when engaging in physical activities. As we had read in the passage, Veronica was not even thirsty before her game, but her body needed water to function properly during her soccer game. When she drank water, she felt better and her leg cramp improved.

In order to prevent cramps from occurring, it is important to hydrate properly with water or other noncarbonated drinks before, during, and after physical activities. This can ensure that the body’s processes can proceed and issues such as cramping won’t occur.
