Sport is not just about winning medals or getting jobs through a sports quota. Today's generation is struggling with issues like depression and anxiety. Parents often say that their children are inactive and rarely leave the house. Sport can help tackle these problems. From sport you can learn time management, fitness, teamwork, coordination, and so much more.

Explanation

Answer: B — 2 and 3

Statement 1 — Incorrect. The passage notes that "parents often say that their children are inactive and rarely leave the house" — this is parents reporting their observations, not the passage criticising parents for being unsupportive. The claim that parents are not encouraging is not made in the passage.

Statement 2 — Correct. The passage explicitly says that "from sport you can learn time management, fitness, teamwork, coordination, and so much more" — these are life skills, so participation in sport helping develop life skills is directly supported.

Statement 3 — Correct. The passage closes with: "We need to develop a culture in which sport is seen as a way of life—a path to building a healthier, happier society." Treating sport as a way of life is presented as a path that reshapes society, which matches the statement.
