I have trouble believing Mr. Sawicki's characterization of Steve, because he knows Steve only in school. Since Mr. Sawicki does not know Steve outside of school, he cannot make a judgment about what Steve has been doing in his neighborhood or who his friends are. Sawicki says Steve is honest, but even if Steve is good or honest in Mr. Sawicki's opinion, good people can still make mistakes.

Timothy Klein · Answer 1

what Mr. Sawicki says

Answer: Option A.

Explanation:

The excerpt which has been given here is the explanation of what Mr Sawicki used to think of Steve. This is the characterization that Mr Sawicki gave of Steve in his own words.

But this characterization of Mr Sawicki can not be believed because he only knows him when he is in school and he has no idea about the life of Steve outside the school, giving him no right to judge Steve or his friends or how he is.
