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-e ... they 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.'

Ollie · Answer 1

Answer: 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.
