Question

select the best evidence to support the statement that the narrator believes lonnie has good judgment.

last year, lonnie and i were out back in ponzini doing nothing, just yakking it up. now, i guess i should mention that lonnies my best friend. except calling him my best friend doesnt tell how tight we are. my dad says that if lonnie told me to jump, id ask, \how high?\ hes being sarcastic, my dad, but hes right in a way. because heres the thing: lonnie wouldnt tell me to jump unless he had a good reason. so, yeah, id ask, \how high?\ hed ask me \how high?\ too if i told him to jump. it doesnt mean a thing. ive known lonnie since i was two and he was three.

Explanation:

To support the statement that the narrator believes Lonnie has good judgment, we look for text that shows the narrator's trust in Lonnie's decisions. The sentence "Lonnie wouldn't tell me to jump unless he had a good reason" indicates that the narrator thinks Lonnie only gives instructions (like telling to jump) when there's a valid, well - judged reason. This shows the narrator's belief in Lonnie's good judgment.

Answer:

Lonnie wouldn't tell me to jump unless he had a good reason.
