Why is the word "underestimated" used in this paragraph?
The first time Ari went mountain biking, he quickly realized that he had
underestimated how difficult the sport would be. He often rode his bike to
school, and he thought mountain biking would be similar. But there were
more hills on the mountain trail than he had expected, and he was soon
exhausted. In addition, he struggled to get around the rocks on the path
even when the trail was flat. Still, Ari enjoyed learning this new sport.
