PLEASE ANSWER!! Which statement best evaluates how well this narrative establishes a clear focus?

After six months of waiting, the day finally arrived. I was so excited about our
seventh-grade class trip to the Wild Adventures Amusement Park that I could
hardly sit still. At our middle school, each grade gets to go on an end-of-the-year
trip if everyone maintains the Honor Code and the class has a high enough total
grade point average. Last year, we went to the Capital City Zoo. My friends and I
piled onto the bus and began talking about all the rides we wanted to try. Little
did I know that the rides would not be my most memorable experience that day.

In a 10-12 sentence response-style paragraph, explore the degree to which you agree or disagree with faulkner’s message. “i believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. he is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. the poet's, the writer's, duty is to write about these things. it is his privilege to man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past. the poet's voice need not merely be the record of man, it can be one of the props, the pillars to him endure and prevail” (faulkner 773-775).
