Which of the following would be most appropriate after the below statement in a concluding paragraph? an automated external defibrillator (aed) is vital in emergencies involving cardiac issues and should be a required piece of first-aid equipment at all school-sponsored sporting events.
select one: though cardiac episodes are rare in teenagers, nearly 10,000 student athletes experience some type of cardiac episode either during a game or team practice each year.

while many schools are interested in having these devices on hand for sporting events, the cost of nearly $2,000 a unit is simply too high for many small programs.

without this life-saving device, student athletes who experience cardiac episodes while on the court or field may sustain further heart injury while waiting for paramedics to arrive.

this device includes simple audio and visual commands designed to people with little medical training administer treatment on a person experiencing a cardiac episode.
