Question

question 3 of 21
what is the most likely meaning of the following statement?
i tried to attend a support group for people who are
chronically late, but i didnt make it on time.

a. it seems funny that i always do things wrong, but its actually sad.

b. i didnt actually try to attend a meeting, i just decided not to go.

c. when youre always late, no one wants to invite you places.

d. ive missed out on opportunities because of my tardiness.

Explanation:

The statement is an ironic situation where a person who is chronically late misses a support group for people with that exact issue. Option D directly reflects that their tardiness caused them to miss this opportunity. Option A incorrectly frames it as sad rather than a consequence of tardiness, B contradicts the statement that they tried to attend, and C is unrelated as the issue is their own lateness, not being uninvited.

Answer:

D. I've missed out on opportunities because of my tardiness.
