Direction (6-10): Rearrange the following five sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), in the proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph then answer the questions given below them.
(A) Congress introduced the law at the behest of major sports leagues, who worried that gambling encouraged match-fixing. That spectre has loomed over American competitions since 1919, when the Chicago White Sox deliberately lost the baseball World Series.
(B) Americans love gambling. Nearly two thirds of adults place some sort of stake each year, and about one-tenth visit Las Vegas to try their luck.
(C) Chris Christie, a former governor, had argued that PASPA represented an unconstitutional federal infringement. The new precedent could have broad implications, perhaps making it harder for the federal government to impose other laws, such as those covering drugs and immigration.
(D) For now, it ends America’s stint as the only rich country that prevents most sports fans from betting. Each state will now decide whether to permit it. New Jersey will do so quickly. Pious states such as Utah may never do so. Chris Grove of Eilers and Krejcik Gaming, a research firm, forecasts that 32 states will have some form of regulated betting by 2023, handling about $90bn of wagers a year—compared with $4.9bn in Nevada today.
(E) Some even bet on whether the Supreme Court would strike down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992, which prohibits most sports gambling in states other than Nevada. On May 14th the justices ruled in favour of New Jersey, which violated the act in 2014 by legalising such wagers.
