As an 11-year-old, my response to losing Clemente was to put together an album of photos clipped from newspaper stories. Since then I've read books and numerous stories about him and also watched documentaries of his life. I didn't think I would learn much more about Clemente on this visit, and yet a few days ago my father, now a retired physician, told me of the time in the late 1960s when the perennial All-Star came to his office.

Seeking treatment for the back trouble that dogged him for much of his career, Clemente sat among the other patients and patiently waited his turn. It was an ordinary gesture by an extraordinary man, one that made his legend just a bit bigger in my eyes.

—“Clemente's Impact Wanes in Puerto Rico
40 Years after His Death,” Jorge Ortiz

Based on the clues in the passage, why would Jorge Ortiz start and end his story in 2012?

Because it shows that many people still don’t believe Clemente is dead.
Because it shows that he knew more about Clemente when he was 11 years old.
Because it shows that Clemente’s memory has become less important to everyone.
Because it shows how much Clemente has influenced him and others since his death.
