Question : Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
On the afternoon of her fortieth birthday, I called a friend to wish her well. I asked about her plans for the rest of the day and learned that a celebration had already taken place. In the morning, my friend, her two sisters and her husband had risen high into the Kentucky sky in a hot-air balloon. 'What was it like?' I asked. "Well, I don't know if I can explain it." she said. "I was so focused on the moment when it was actually happening."
What I learned from my friend that morning is that sometimes, to be in the moment, you must surrender to it completely. That's not to say you won't remember it later, though you may forfeit the chance to put the moment into words. And although I couldn't say exactly what my pal experienced that morning, I heard the thrill and awe in her voice.

To truly be present, one must live inside the moment and experience it for its own sake. If you live outside the moment - observing and explaining - you're no longer absorbing and feeling. The moment breaks apart and eventually disappears. Think of a movie. Sometimes it's impossible to explain what you've seen. On another level, though, one you can't necessarily pinpoint, you know that once you begin dissecting your experience, you take away from it as well.

Option 1: She was focused on flying
 

Option 2: She was in the hot-air balloon
