Ana couldn't sleep all night because her missed free throws caused her team to lose the game. Then the next morning, she could see the sun peeking over the trees. As the sun rose higher and shined more brightly, she felt better. She thought: I know I can practice and do better at the next game!

In this passage, the rising sun symbolizes—

• Ana's house

• an orange basketball

• a second chance

• a sleepless night
