Question

Willie started talking as soon as he sat down next to Hassan on the bus. "You wouldn't believe it, Hassan! I was the best student in science class today! Mr. Boyle asked lots of hard questions and I got every single one of them correct! Mr. Boyle was very impressed. I'm probably one of Mr. Boyle's best students, if not the best. Wow, what a day!"

Answer 1

Answer: Willie tells a biased story.

Explanation: Willie is not highlighting a problem, ruling out the first answer. Willie is also not asking for objective advice. Nothing in the excerpt proves that Hassan is an old friend of Willie, ruling out that answer as well. The answer is "Willie tells a biased story". This is because he tells a story that highly favors him and his scientific knowledge.
