Part B

Select the letter before the sentence from Passage 1, paragraph 4 that supports the answer in Part A.

• It seems much smaller here than it did from the roof.

• Maybe it’s just that I

  feel larger now, because so much has happened since I last saw it—I feel like more

  of a person, more of myself, now that I have made difficult decisions and lost people

  and then almost lost myself, but not quite.

• I walk right up to the edge, just to make

  sure there is still a net at the bottom

• Then I back up, run a few steps, and launch

  into emptiness

• My stomach drops and the darkness engulfs me, like the Dauntless

  compound is a creature and this is its mouth.
