Which of the following paragraphs includes the climax of the story?

13    Reggie was excited to see so many of his classmates and their parents. Mr. Wilson beamed as he introduced Reggie as the special guest speaker. Fighting the butterflies in his stomach, Reggie focused on his presentation. Afterwards, Mr. Wilson thanked him for volunteering his time and for doing his research on four-wheeler safety. Then, he shared a surprise. Mr. Wilson was going to have a drawing and give away a brand new four-wheeler!

14    Almost breathless with the possibility of winning but afraid he might be disappointed again, Reggie nervously scratched out his ticket and put it into the box. Next, there were refreshments, some music, and a tour of the store to look at the latest ATV models.

15    Finally, Mr. Wilson called everyone to the middle of the showroom for the big announcement. The tension was thick, and Reggie held his breath. It seemed like time stopped as Mr. Wilson slowly pulled the winner’s name from the box.

16    “Reggie Johnson!” he yelled as the crowd clapped loudly. Stunned, Reggie practically floated toward Mr. Wilson to receive the keys to his own brand new four-wheeler! He could not believe that this day had ended so well. His wish had finally come true–in a most unexpected way!

17    “Finally, we each have our own,” Josh said. “It’s a beautiful day today; let’s take them out for a ride!”
