To determine the correct answer based on the provided text, we need to analyze the context of the Mets' victory in game five and the World Series. The passage states that the Mets were behind by three runs but managed to pull themselves together, score some hits, and ultimately win the game. This suggests that their success was due to teamwork and collaboration rather than just luck, training, or fan inspiration. Now, let's evaluate the options: - **(A) were just lucky.** - This does not align with the narrative of the team pulling together and making a comeback. - **(B) had better training.** - While training is important, the passage emphasizes the team's performance during the game rather than their training. - **(C) worked together.** - This option reflects the idea of teamwork and collaboration, which is supported by the text. - **(D) got inspired by their fans.** - Although fan support can be motivating, the passage does not mention this as a factor in their victory. Given this analysis, the best answer is: **(C) worked together.**
