Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
D
The passage states, "As if that wasn't bad enough, my father chimed in, 'Yes, not everyone has a sense of self. Paul does not have your confidence. I guess that's just how he is.' I became angry at myself for thinking Edgar began speaking to me out of candid concern. I was angry at my father, too, for taking Edgar's side."
