Read this excerpt from the end of paragraph 1 of maureen daly's “sixteen” and answer the question.

i just wanted to give you the general idea that i'm not so dumb. it is important that you understand that.

the author most likely foreshadows the story with this excerpt to suggest that the narrator

makes reasonably good decisions about her life
would be a valuable friend to those around her
feels slightly foolish about the events that occur
understands the situation that eventually develops

The correct answer would be option C: "feels slightly foolish about the events that occur", this due to the way the excerpt is written, since, it seems the author wanted to let the readers know that the narrator isn't stupid, so that they keep that in mind, when they read about a foolish thing said narrator did. If the narrator did something dumb, then option A and B would be discarded, as would option D.

he correct answer is choice c. promoters of ufc events were eager to work with state athletic commissions, without public pressure being a necessary inducement.

i'm thinking it would be when compound subjects are joined by or, nor,either-or, neither-nor.
