Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

The year is 326 B. C. Alexander the Great stands at the Indus River in what is now Pakistan. For a decade he and his Greek soldiers have been battling their way across the known world, defeating even the mighty Persians, rulers of Asia. Alexander's string of victories only feeds his hunger to conquer all, to know all. But his men balk. Tired of fighting, homesick, they refuse to go on. Alexander realizes he cannot continue to conquer Asia, but he is too curious to stop exploring. He has already built a fleet of eight hundred ships, appointed his close friend Nearchus captain, and sent them to investigate the coast of lndia by sea.

Which statement best summarizes this passage?

Nearchus was the captain of a fleet of ships that Alexander the Great had built.
Alexander the Great was victorious over formidable opponents in his conquests.
Alexander the Great worked only with friends he trusted, such as Nearchus.
Alexander the Great continued exploring even though his Greek soldiers quit.
