Which sentence best summarizes the following passage?

I’d first heard of it only seven months before, when I was living in Minneapolis, sad and desperate and on the brink of divorcing a man I still loved. I’d been standing in line at an outdoor store waiting to purchase a foldable shovel when I picked up a book called The Pacific Crest Trail, Volume 1: California from a nearby shelf and read the back cover. The PCT, it said, was a continuous wilderness trail that went from the Mexican border in California to just beyond the Canadian border along the crest of nine mountain ranges—the Laguna, San Jacinto, San Bernardino, San Gabriel, Liebre, Tehachapi, Sierra Nevada, Klamath, and Cascades. The distance was a thousand miles as the crow flies, but the trail was more than double that. Traversing the entire length of the states of California, Oregon, and Washington, the PCT passes through national parks and wilderness areas as well as federal, tribal, and privately held lands; through deserts and mountains and rain forests; across rivers and highways. I turned the book over and gazed at its front cover—a boulder-strewn lake surrounded by rocky crags against a blue sky—then placed it back on the shelf, paid for my shovel, and left.

• During a difficult time in her life, the author learns of the Pacific Crest Trail, but thinks nothing of it.

• Several months ago, Strayed became interested in the PCT and researched it in her spare time.

• The author buys a foldable shovel at an outdoor store.

• The PCT runs from California to Canada, cutting through several mountain ranges.

Which sentence suggests that Cook benefited from his experience as a coach?

• He said that the biggest lesson he had learned was to be grateful, and he also noted that he learned patience—both on and off the court.

• And when the opposing team’s coach called a play, sometimes Cook could communicate that message to his team.

• It hadn’t had a championship-filled history, so it was Cook’s mission at Gallaudet to change the team’s record from a losing one to a winning one.

• Although it was an impressive turnaround, Cook knew the team could play better.
