Less than 10 percent of the world’s people, and of the participants in combat sports worldwide, are left-handed. However, a majority of top-level competitors in combat sports worldwide are left-handed.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the discrepancy presented in the passage?
1) Left-handedness is more common in primitive cultures with high rates of death by violence than in other primitive cultures.
2) Among top-level competitors in many non-combat sports, such as tennis and baseball, left-handedness is also much more common than in the general population.
3) In many cultures, children are discouraged from performing tasks with their left hands, even if the left hand is their dominant hand.
4) Because left-handedness is so rare, opponents of left-handed fighters are ill equipped to handle the positions and angles from which those fighters attack.
5) A significant number of left-handed competitors in combat sports have trained under coaches who have forced them to fight from right-handed positions and angles.
