Read the excerpt from "The Catch.”

As Rohan, the youngest of the elf competitors arrived at the eastern foothills where the Fell Race would begin, he marveled at the majestic peaks that towered above him. I’ve never seen these mountains so close, he thought.

"It’s quite a sight for us elves, who live our lives in the flatlands,” answered Lewess, his muscular friend. Using their gift to read each other’s thoughts, Lewess gave his partner a hearty reminder, But don’t let yourself be so impressed by the beauty of the mountains that you forget our purpose for being here.

Which statement best describes Lewess’s viewpoint in this excerpt?

He is amazed by the stunning scenery.
He is irritated by Rohan’s inexperience.
He wants Rohan to concentrate on the race.
He wishes they did not have to leave the flatlands.
