In the following passage, the character Win Everett is contemplating his career while having breakfast with his wife. Select the best evidence to support the statement "Win Everett was forced to leave his job."

We tend to draw together to seek mutual solace for our disease. This is what he thought at the breakfast table in the sweet old house, turn-of-the-century, with the curved porch, the oak posts furled in trumpet vines. He had time to think, time to become an old man in aspic, in sculptured soap, quaint and white. It was not unusual for men in the clandestine service to retire at age fifty-one. A pension plan had been approved by some committee and a statement had been issued about the onerous and dangerous lives led by such people; the family problems; the transient nature of assignments. But Win Everett's retirement wasn't exactly voluntary. There was the business in Coral Gables. There were visits to the polygraph machine.

The best evidence to support the statement "Win Everett was forced to leave his job" is: "But Win Everett's retirement wasn't exactly voluntary." This directly indicates that his departure from his job was not by his own choice, suggesting he was compelled to leave for reasons beyond his control.
