PASSAGE
At a community center, a volunteer coordinator tells a group of new volunteers: "I know you're all eager to hit the ground running, but let's make sure everyone is on the same page before we dive in." Two of the volunteers, Priya and Kenji, are non-native English speakers.
Priya whispers to Kenji: "I think 'hit the ground running' means to start quickly and energetically — does that sound right to you?"
Kenji replies: "I'm not sure. Maybe it means we should be careful and not rush?"
Whose interpretation is better supported by the contextual evidence available in the coordinator's statement, and what specific contextual clue MOST decisively distinguishes the correct interpretation from the incorrect one?
