For a few years, i have played tennis on the weekends with my best friend rita. two weeks ago, we noticed that our school's tennis team was holding tryouts for new players. we both decided to try out for the team.

rita and i met at the community park's tennis courts every day after school for a week. at the park, we practiced many different skills. first, we jogged around the exterior of the court. after warming up, we volleyed the ball back and forth. by the end of the week, we both had improved our skills.

at the tryouts, we were nervous but felt confident in our skills. the coach allowed us to choose our partners. rita and i played together and did our best to impress the coach. after the tryouts, rita and i the coach for a great opportunity. the coach plans to post the list of people who made it onto the team tomorrow.
which of these best fits into paragraph 2?
a) the coach seemed very nice and is probably quite good at her job.
b) the tennis team at our school won the state championship last year.
c) rita and i worked at perfecting our backhand swings while we practiced.
d) rita also enjoys swimming, and she might try out for the swim team, too.
