Explanation:

To answer this question, we need to find the sentence in the text that supports the answer in Part A. We must analyze each option to see which one provides relevant evidence. "I walked casually past the house, certain he had destroyed our backyard, but unable to find a logical reason why." suggests the narrator's perception of Barlo as someone who might have caused damage without a clear - cut reason, which likely aligns with the answer in Part A.

Answer:

"I walked casually past the house, certain he had destroyed our backyard, but unable to find a logical reason why."
