Explanation:
In the given story, Marcus had already given up on everything. He felt he lacks motivation, and simply refused to care anymore. And going to junior college doesn't appeal to him at all.
But with the arrival of Shelby, Marcus felt a newfound interest.

He discovers that one's efforts build passion and with that, comes the rest.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
