9. Read the following paragraph from "The Pin." First, I made a list of my goals. They included making new friends, getting to know my teachers, and keeping busy in a positive way. As I was walking through the hall, I saw a poster announcing the upcoming election for school officers. Suddenly, it all fell into place. I would run for freshman class president! The idea seemed a little crazy, even to me. How could a newcomer, an unknown, get elected? Which of the following is the best paraphrase of the ideas in this paragraph? (1 point) The narrator sets some goals for himself, which include getting to know others by running for a position on the student council. The narrator resolves to make new friends by being more involved in school and decides to run for the office of freshman class president. The narrator decides to run for freshman class president after realizing that he needs to actively make new friends because he has not been very positive. The narrator sees a poster advertising the office of class president and decides to run for office because he feels like he needs to meet new friends and get to know his teachers.
