Which passage from My Life With the Chimpanzees most clearly supports that Jane is patient?

• During those months of gradual discovery, the chimps very slowly began to realize that I was not so frightening after all. Even so, it was almost a year before I could approach to within one hundred yards.

• I carried a little trunk up there. In it I kept a kettle, some sugar and coffee, and a tin mug. Then, when I got tired from a long trek to another valley, I could make a drink in the middle of the day. I kept a blanket up there, too...

• After supper I would get out the little notebook in which I had scribbled everything I had seen while watching the chimps during the day. I would settle down and write it all legibly into my journal.

• Instead of writing the information in notebooks, I started to use a little tape recorder. Then I could keep my eyes on the chimps all the time. By the end of the day there was so much typing to be done that I found I couldn't do it all myself.
