Which statement best paraphrases the controlling idea in this introduction
paragraph?

I'll never forget the time I threw up on the morning school bus. I was too sick to go to school, but in third grade I had never yet missed a single school day. When my dad picked me up that morning, I cried - not because I was sick, but because I wouldn't get a perfect

Read the following excerpt from "Why I Wrote 'The Passage'" and answer the question that follows.

Three decades later I was asked to write a creative piece about Automatic for the People, one of my favorite albums, by R.E.M., my favorite band. It was exciting. This particular project--one that commissioned a piece of creative writing for each of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time--had almost no constraints other than a word limit, so I decided to write a story. Then I listened to the album a lot. Several times a day, at home, in the car, wherever I was, I was listening, trying to figure out how to make a story out of the lines in the twelve songs. Because that's what I wanted to do--write a story that combined all the words in the lyrics in an entirely new way. This is what we call being overly ambitious.

Why did Martin write "The Passage?"

He was asked to write a creative piece in response to the album Automatic for the People.
He wanted to use the lyrics of the songs to tell a story.
He was asked to write a story about an important memory in his life.
He listened to REM's album so much that he had to write a story about it.
