Transcript:
Selecting the most suitable spikes is not as simple as getting training shoes. The distance for which the sprinter is planning to run must be kept in mind, be it a 200-meter race, a middle-distance run, or a long-run. Secondly, the right fit is non-negotiable; there should be no extra room near the toes, as it slows down the speed. If one is unsure of the shoe type, then, consulting a coach helps. Coaches know the maximum types of runs the sprinter is going to participate in, so they might advise a better and more feasible product.

Option 2: "Sprinters shoes are designed to give the runner a natural bent of comfort and help in shooting faster than others."
Explanation: This option is correct as the text states that spiky shoes facilitate better traction and provide a feeling of running barefoot, which contributes to comfort and performance. The phrase 'shooting faster' aligns with the text's emphasis on performance.
Option 1: "Sprinters shoes are professional athletics shoes worn mostly by star runners and are not easily affordable."
Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention that sprinter's shoes are only for star runners or that they are unaffordable. It focuses on the importance of quality footwear for all serious runners, not just a select few.
Option 3: "Parents must not interfere with the actual size of the shoes."
Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text does not mention parents or their involvement in selecting shoe sizes. It emphasizes the importance of the right fit for the runner, but does not address parental interference.
Option 4: "Any shoes that are not chosen according to the distance of the track to be covered and the average speed of the runner, do not help win the race."
Explanation: This option is correct as the text explicitly states that selecting the right spikes depends on the distance of the race and the fit of the shoes. It implies that improper choices can hinder performance, thus supporting the statement.
Option 5: "A runner must always accompany his coach shopping for shoes, as only he/she understands the real requirements of an athlete."
Explanation: This option is incorrect because while the text suggests consulting a coach for advice on shoe types, it does not state that a runner must always accompany their coach when shopping. It implies that consulting is beneficial, but does not mandate it.
