Question

in paragraph 17 (\its fair... cha\), when felix says, \its gotta be like we never met,\ he most likely means that the boys should
a fool everyone into thinking they are strangers.
b compete as they would with any other person.
c forget the past and start their relationship over.
d ignore their differences for that moment.

Explanation:

When Felix says "it's gotta be like we never met", he implies that they should act as if they are strangers to each other in their interaction. This means competing as they would with any other unknown person, rather than being influenced by their prior - acquaintance. Option A is about fooling others which isn't the main point. Option C is about starting the relationship over which isn't accurate. Option D is about ignoring differences which is not the meaning here.

Answer:

B. compete as they would with any other person.
