Read the excerpt from an interview with Florence Griffith-Joyner.

WILL: I know that you dropped out of college in 1979 to help support your family. It seems like family must be very important to you.


FLORENCE GRIFFITH-JOYNER: Yes. Family is first in my life. It was a very difficult decision for me to drop out of college at that time. Growing up in poverty, I didn't have the financial support that I would have needed to go to college. I wasn't offered an athletic scholarship. I wasn't offered an academic scholarship. I thought, "How am I going to stay in school?" So I enrolled in school, and I thought, "I really want to run, but I know I have to concentrate on my academics as well." I tried a year of college, and I thought, "I can't continue because I have no financial support." I had to take the bus two hours to school, two hours back. The need was greater than what I could afford.


What is the purpose of the interviewer’s question?

A. to share Florence Griffith-Joyner's training techniques
B. to share Florence Griffith-Joyner's family recipes
C. to share Florence Griffith-Joyner's commitment to family
D. to share Florence Griffith-Joyner's favorite coach
