Explanation:

To determine the answer, we analyze each option. The question is about why the narrator resented teachers' treatment. Option B suggests the narrator believed teachers thought he was less smart than white children, which relates to perceived unfair or discriminatory treatment based on racial/ethnic assumptions about intelligence. Other options: A focuses on name usage, C on belief disrespect, D on parent treatment—these don't align as closely with a core reason of feeling underestimated in intelligence compared to white peers.

Answer:

B. He believed they thought he was not as smart as white children.
