Read the excerpt from "Echo and Narcissus."

Narcissus continued to hunt and relax in the hills each day. Although his good looks still charmed both fairies and mortals alike, his heart was given to no one. That is, until one fateful day, when he leaned over the crystal waters of a pond to drink and saw a gorgeous creature reflected back at him.

What does the phrase "a gorgeous creature reflected back at him" help readers infer?

Narcissus is admiring a water fairy.
Narcissus is admiring his own image.
Narcissus gets his good looks from drinking water.
Narcissus looks more attractive when dressed as a hunter.

B. Narcissus is admiring his own image.

Explanation: Narcissus leans over into the pond and sees "a gorgeous creature reflected back"; your reflection is your own image, reflected back at you.
