not the first sentence

Option 3. In order to improve the paragraph's sentence fluency, sentence 3 should be revised.

Explanation:

A paragraph's sentence fluency is defined as the rhythm and flow of the language and words used in a sentence and as a part of a paragraph, the way they sound when being read. The sentence "Previously, only amateurs players were allowed to participate such as college athletes" should be revised in order to improve the paragraph's sentence fluency. "College athletes" is a nonrestrictive clause within the sentence, as it adds non-essential information, that could be omited while the sentence would still hold logic and meaning. Therefore to help the sentence's fluency the sentence should be written with this structure: "Previously, only amateur players such as college athletes were allowed to participate."
