Read the passage from "Things That Matter.”

"Well, without a good ankle, I won’t have a chance at the Olympics,” said Rae hotly.

The young man was suddenly silent. After a moment, he said, "The Olympics?”

"I’m in training for the winter Olympics,” Rae said. "Snowboarding.”

"Wow.” He shook his head. He seemed to be trying to clear it of his own worries so he could think about hers. "The Olympics. No wonder you were mad.”

Which is the best way to summarize the passage?

Jake asks Rae a bunch of questions after she shouts at him.
Rae yells at Jake so much that the poor guy just stops talking.
Rae explains to Jake that she’s in training to compete in snowboarding in the Olympics.
Jake realizes that Rae is mad about falling because she’s in training for the Olympics.

In the given passage, Jake realizes that Rae is mad about falling because she's training to participate in the Olympics. That is the best way to summarize it.

The second best option is the third one, but it doesn't contain the information that Rae fell, which is an important detail. The first one is incorrect because Jake isn't asking a bunch of questions and we don't see that Rae shouted at him. Also, Rae isn't yelling at him, and he didn't stop talking, which makes the second option incorrect, as well.
