When 12-year-old Jonathan goes out for the middle 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 little if at all.

  a. Value cross-country running more than he has previously
  b. Value cross-country running less than he has previously
  c. Value running more only if his coach encourages him to stick it out for a while
  d. Try to convince his teammates that he's a better runner than he really is
