Answer 1

Answer:

Ellie took Ripley's hand and thanked her.

Explanation:

The lines "no one realized that Ellie had secretly been practicing for the final 50-meter round" and "Ellie took Ripley's hand and thanked her." reflect the rising actions in the passage.

The line that says no on realized how much effort Ellie had been secretly putting into practicing the final 50-meter round reflects the interesting development which Ellie had undertaken in order to proof herself as the champion.

And the line that says Ellie took Ripley's hand, her opponent, and thanked her portrays the unexpected gesture that Ellie made towards Ripley. Though, Ripley had taken away her spotlight, she did not had any bitter feelings towards her. Ellie instead worked hard and Ripley became the source of her motivation.
