Read the following story excerpt and answer the question that follows: "Nope, I am not going to try out for the track team," Mayza told her friend. "Oh, why not? I am so sad, Mayza," Janie whined. "I thought we could be in this together. Please try out!" "I just don't have the time." Mayza responded sadly. "I am trying to keep my grades up. I need scholarships for college." Mayza looked up to see the track coach standing over her. "Mayza," she said, "I saw you at the practice run yesterday, and I was very impressed with your ability. I am hoping to see you at try-outs this afternoon. You know, there are scholarships available for winning students this year." Mayza looked up at her. "Coach," she said, I'll be there." Which line of dialogue impacted Mayza and changed the direction of the story?

When her coach says "You know, there are scholarships for winning students this year." Mayza changes her mind, and realizes that her goals can still be accomplished on the team.
