instructions
read the question carefully and select the best answer.
which sentence from the text best supports the correct answer to question 5?
a. \someone was always going to have to follow pat.\
b. \i want to make a difference in these kids’ lives — because that’s what pat made in mine.\
c. \would you be interested in coming here to coach?’ she asked me.\
d. \‘that woman is crazy,’ i said to myself after walking out of the gym that day.\

Explanation:

To solve this, we need to assume what Question 5 was about (likely related to motivation or influence from Pat). Option B shows a personal connection: the speaker wants to impact kids' lives as Pat impacted theirs, so it supports a response about being inspired by Pat to act. Other options: A is about following Pat (not impact), C is an invitation, D is a negative reaction.

To determine the best supporting sentence, we analyze the options. Option B ("I want to make a difference in these kids’ lives — because that’s what Pat made in mine.") shows the speaker’s motivation is inspired by Pat’s impact on them, which likely supports a Question 5 answer about being influenced by Pat to act (e.g., coaching). Other options: A focuses on following Pat (not impact), C is an invitation, D is a negative comment.

Answer:

B. "I want to make a difference in these kids’ lives — because that’s what Pat made in mine."
