Final answer:

Jonas, from 'The Giver', thought he was skipped during the Ceremony of Twelve due to an error or personal inadequacy, only to find out later that he was chosen for a unique role as the Receiver of Memory.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question seems to refer to an event in 'The Giver' by Lois Lowry, where the protagonist, Jonas, is initially skipped during the Ceremony of Twelve. Jonas feels anxiety and confusion over being skipped, speculating it might be due to an error or a perceived inadequacy on his part.

Later in the narrative, it is revealed that he was not skipped due to any fault of his own but because he had been selected for a unique role in the community—the Receiver of Memory. His selection was to be announced separately, given the special significance of this position.
