Read the following passage and answer the question that follows.
That’s how life plays out for all of us. We lose some. Like sportspersons, we too pack our gear and go to work. But unlike them, the gaze of the world is not upon us. Most of us do our business in anonymity, very few of us are emotionally wired to the outcomes of our day jobs. We don’t come back feeling like winners. Or losers. As sports fans we can summon empathy for those who stretch their bodies and minds to the limit in the pursuit of athletic excellence and provide such joys in the process.
But we will never experience the highs that are their reward. And we will never know the depth of their lows, which are their burden.
Still, no one will know better than Rohit and Dravid that its already a new day. There might never be a World Cup win for them. But there are loved ones to go to. Life awaits still.
Which of the following statements BEST summarizes the above passage?

First para talks about how sports fan can empathise with sportspersons, but fans are not as emotionally attached to what we do as sportspersons are.
Second para talks about fans not understanding the highs and lows of outcomes in sports.
Third para talks about moving on despite the world cup loss.

Option (b): The passage talks about Rohit and Dravid (sporstpersons) moving on and does not mention anything about fans. This is not the best possible summary.

Hence, option (a).
