Which statement best conveys the irony of the speaker's situation in paragraph 4? a baker's dozen

a) i could've been the valedictorian somewhere.
b) my retorts were always something cleverly snide as well.
c) i would've shown everyone how determined i can truly be. as it turned out, i showed 'em anyway. counselors were shown that i didn't have to graduate with my class, like they so earnestly wished for me to.
d) [h]alf the sophomores around here don't even know how to spell s-o-p-h-o-m-o-r- leave out the 'o' on all their cheesy, self-absorbed class election posters, and they certainly don't have a clue that it's a combination of two latinaic roots, 'sopho' and 'more,' meaning 'wise fool.'

C

Explanation:

The most ironic of these statements is I would've shown everyone how determined I can truly be. As it turned out, I showed 'em anyway. Counselors were shown that I didn't have to graduate with my class, like they so earnestly wished for me to because usually determination is a determination to succeed. In the narrator's case, he shows his determination by failing.

Just took the test

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )

i'm really rally sorry if i'm incorrect, but if i'm hope this ! : )
