Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The idiom **"Keep the ball rolling"** means to continue an activity or process without interruption, maintaining momentum or progress.

2. Analyze each statement:

- (A) "Despite the setback, the leader motivated everyone to keep the ball rolling and not lose focus on the final goal."
     - This correctly uses the idiom as it implies continuing progress despite difficulties.

- (B) "After gaining the initial investment, the entrepreneur worked hard to keep the ball rolling by seeking more funding."
     - This also correctly uses the idiom, indicating the entrepreneur is maintaining momentum in the business process.

- (C) "The coach told the team to keep the ball rolling after they scored the first goal to secure the win."
     - This is a literal use related to sports (ball rolling in a game), not the idiomatic meaning of continuing progress or momentum in a broader sense.

3. Therefore, statements (A) and (B) correctly use the idiom, while (C) uses it literally.
