Sophie's soccer team posed for another photo. They all grinned and held up their trophy, as parents and friends gathered around, snapping pictures. Everyone was so proud of the top team in the leaguel
It had taken a lot of work to become this good. Sophie remembered when the season first started. The players had all wandered around the
field like lost sheep. Their coach had been very patient but demanded that they work hard to learn how to play. They had kicking and passing drills
and ran laps around the field. Each girl learned how to play a different position on the team.
"Yes," Sophie thought to herself, "It was a lot of work, but it was definitely worth it!"
What does the simile "wandered around the field like lost sheep" help the reader understand?
01. The players did not know what to do or where to go.
2. The players did not want to run or work very hard.
03. The players were stubborn and did not want to learn to play.
The players stayed close together and did not want to separate.
