Answer:

"What a nice present," this is because Jeremy knows his aunt wants him to like the present even though he doesn't, and he wants her to be happy

Step-by-step explanation:

theory of mind refers to attribution and recognition of mental states such as emotions, perspectives, beliefs and views of oneself and other people. here Jeremy has achieved theory of mind and is therefore able to recognize the emotions or the mental state of his aunty and what she wants and is therefore able to know what he would probably how he would respond so as to elicit happiness and approval from his aunty
