Question

I've got a painful experience that I went through last semester. I joined the cross country. We were running this race competing against several of other schools. The entire race was long and dreadful. It took place in the desert so it was really hot and humid. We ran up and down the hills.

It was getting awful after 10 minutes of the race. People who ran in front of me made me breathe the dust they created. It wasn't so bad until my throat started to hurt. It was very painful. I had a hard time to catch my breath and I sweat a lot. I really hated it.

In the end I managed to finish the race. I felt really good after that. I felt fully alive again. That race was a horrible experience. That is the reason why I quitted the team a week later.

38. What does the second paragraph tell us about? 
A. A cross country race. 
B. An awful place in the mountain. 
C. A good feeling after completing the race. 
D. Painful incidents during the cross country.
