Use the paragraph to answer the question.

Adaptive sports are conventional sports that have been modified to meet the needs of people with disabilities. Involvement in adaptive sports has so many benefits for people with special needs. According to Disabled Sports USA, individuals involved in adaptive sports programs have higher employment rates, have more physically active lifestyles, and enjoy socializing more. Also, regular participation in sports has been shown to increase overall physical and mental health for people of all abilities.The town offers some great programs through its parks and recreation department.

An adaptive sports program would be a great addition to the town parks and recreation department.
Adaptive sports are great but too expensive to implement in the town.
The paragraph suggests that the town's parks and recreation department, despite offering some great programs, is not currently inclusive enough because it does not offer programs that meet the needs of people with disabilities. Therefore, the statement that aligns best with the sentiment of the paragraph is:
"An adaptive sports program would be a great addition to the town parks and recreation department."
The paragraph indicates that adding an adaptive sports program would benefit the community by providing opportunities for people with special needs to participate in sports, which can improve employment rates, increase physical activity, enhance social experiences, and boost physical and mental health. It does not mention the cost of implementing such a program, so the statement regarding expense is not supported by the paragraph. Additionally, the statements about the parks and recreation department being inclusive and not needing additional programming are directly contradicted by the paragraph's content.
