What does the passage about the village football match suggest about the event?
Read the passage: The football match between the two village teams had been played every spring for forty years. This year, rain fell all morning, and by noon the field was more mud than grass. The referee suggested postponing, but the captains looked at the crowd that had walked in from both villages, many carrying food and folding chairs. They shook hands and walked onto the field. By the final whistle, nobody could tell which shirts were red and which were blue, and no one could remember the score. Still, the crowd stayed long after the game, sharing the food they had brought.
Correct answer B. The occasion was valued more as a social gathering than as a contest
No one remembered the score, yet the crowd stayed to share food, which suggests the event mattered mainly as a friendly community gathering.
