Read the paragraph from liam’s narrative. 1i had never been more frightened in my entire life. 2as i stepped onto the diving platform, i waited for instructions from my diving coach. 3only because his directions were so clear, and because he was so nice, was i able to do it. 4it had all been worth it, i thought, as i changed from my bathing suit back into clothes. 5i had achieved what i had set out to do. which sentence could replace sentence 5 to make the paragraph more precise? i was able to accomplish the goal i had set for myself. i had finally managed to dive from the highest platform. i had surprised myself by being able to do what i didn’t think i could. i truly owed a lot to coach wilkerson for all the he had given me.

I had finally managed to dive from the highest platform.

This option makes the paragraph more presise as it states WHAT he was grying to accomplish - what his achievement was (dive from the highest platform)

I had finally managed to dive from the highest platform.

Explanation:

This sentence could replace: 5 "I had achieved what I had set out to do." since the sentence above explains what it is the speaker had done. Out of the  other sentences we have learnt that she underwent  some tension to do something in a swimming pool and that she had got a lot of help from her coach. Yet, she never mentioned what that was.  It was the fact she could dive from the highest platform into the water.
