Read the passage. Devin watched the other runners stretch near the starting line, each one leaner and quicker-looking than he was. "You don't belong here," a voice in his head kept saying. But when the gun cracked, his legs did what months of dark-morning training had taught them, and the voice went quiet at last. How does Devin most change over the passage?

He moves from self-doubt to confidence earned through preparation. He changes from eager excitement to disappointment after losing. He becomes more jealous of the other runners over time. He learns to cheat in order to keep up with faster runners.

Correct Answer:

He moves from self-doubt to confidence earned through preparation.
