Explanation:

To determine why Newt feels like a failure, we analyze the options. The first option about not being liked/appreciated is more about social acceptance, the second about work difficulty at the store is about job performance issues. The third option, believing he can't be as competent as Cybil, relates to self - perception of inadequacy compared to another, which is a common reason for feeling like a failure (self - comparison and perceived lack of competence).

Answer:

C. He believes he can't ever be as competent as Cybil.
