Which inference can best be drawn from this passage from "The Fish I Didn't Catch" by John Greenleaf Whittier?

I caught the arrowy gleam of a scared fish shooting into the middle of the stream—my hook hung empty from the line. I had lost my prize.

A. The speaker never cared about whether he would catch a fish.

B. The speaker didn't try very hard to catch the fish.

C. The speaker was given bad fishing advice by a trusted adult.

D. The speaker believes adults are sometimes insensitive to children's feelings.
