According to the web search results, he was born on April 13, 1977 in Dakar and played for Providence College and University of Delaware in the United States. He also played in Lebanon and Japan before returning to Senegal and helping other young African basketball players. He is currently a candidate for the 2024 presidential election in Senegal.

Based on the passage you provided, the best answer for the question is A traveled. Ndiaye traveled to new places to get better jobs as a basketball player, as the passage states: “He hoped to do the same. And he did. Ndiaye played basketball for a living. He played professionally in the United States, Lebanon, and Japan.” The other options are not supported by the passage. He did not hesitate, celebrate, or worry in the passage. Therefore, A traveled is the correct choice.
