When 14-year-old Jonathan goes out for the high school cross-country team, he discovers that he's the slowest runner on the team. After three weeks of daily practice with the team, his speed and endurance improve very little, if at all.

a. expect greater success as more time elapses.
b. value cross-country running more than he has previously.
c. value cross-country running less than he has previously.
d. try to convince his teammates that he's a better runner than he really is.
